In 1814, Monteggia described two cases characterized by a fracture of shaft of the ulna and distribution of the radius. The incidace is rare n child. The important factors in good results need accurate diagnosis, rigid internal fexation of ulna
fracture
and complete reduction of the dislocated radial Read.
6 Montegia fracture in children were treated from 1984 to 1990 at In Je Paik Hospital, Busan.
@ES The results obtained were as follows;
@EN 1. The causes of injuries were falling down(3 cases), slipped down(1 cases), and traffic accident(2 cases).
2. Bado's type I was, and type III was 2 cases.
3. Radial nerve inury was in 2 cases with lateral dislocation of radial head.
4. Closed reduction of radial head dislocation was done in 4 cases, open reduction internal fexation with K-wire and excision in 1 cases, and annular ligament reconstruction in 1 case.
5. Clased reduction of ulna fracture was done in 4 cases, open reduction internal fixation with plate and screws in 1 case. and colsed reduction internal fixation with K-wire and osteotomy of ulna in 1 case.
6. The results(Bruce et al criteria) were excellent in 4 cases. good in 1 cases, and fair in 1 cases.
