Type III Monteggia fracture with posterior interosseous nerve injury in a child: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2017 March
RATIONALE: Elbow injury in children by improper treatment or a delay of more than 3 weeks could lead to old unreduced Monteggia fracture, which are difficult to manage. Conservative or normal surgical methods usually fail.
PATIENT CONCERNS: Herein, we present a 6-year-old boy with sustaining injury approximately 1 month to his left elbow. Activity in his elbow was restricted, and his ability to extend his wrist and fingers was impaired.
DIAGNOSES: Type III Monteggia elbow fracture-dislocation consisting of radial head dislocation and malunion of the ulna associated with posterior interosseous nerve palsy were confirmed, which requiring surgical treatment.
INTERVENTIONS: A closed reduction was performed with hyperplastic scar tissues erased and the radial head relocated.
OUTCOMES: Follow-up 4 months later showed satisfactory recovery of function.
LESSONS: Forearm fractures in children may be misjudged, and that early anatomical reduction rather than conservative treatment may be required.
