  • Title: The pediatric Monteggia fracture.
    Author: Kay RM, Skaggs DL.
    Journal: Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ); 1998 Sep; 27(9):606-9. PubMed ID: 9758451.
    Abstract:
    Since Monteggia first described the fracture bearing his name in 1814, the association of radial head dislocation with ipsilateral ulnar fracture has been well described. Monteggia fractures and their variants are often misdiagnosed, however, because of the numerous atypical presentations of this injury in children. This article describes the diagnosis, treatment, and potential pitfalls encountered in the treatment of Monteggia fractures.
