Adult Monteggia and Olecranon Fracture Dislocations of the Elbow.
Hand Clinics 2015 November
Monteggia fractures and olecranon fracture dislocations represent complex injuries with distinct patterns of bony and soft tissue involvement. Fractures of the proximal ulna and olecranon process may lead to disruption of the proximal radioulnar joint and/or ulnohumeral joint.
