Monteggia Fracture-Dislocations in Children: History and Current Concepts and Management Schemes.
Since pediatric Monteggia fracture-dislocations were first described in 1814, they have been a complicated injury for orthopaedic surgeons to manage. These injuries typically consist of a fracture of the ulna with dislocation of the radial head. Unlike most pediatric injuries, Monteggia fracture-dislocations remodel very poorly, and the relationship between the radial head and the capitellum does not improve with time. As such, a more attentive approach is necessary. It is important for orthopaedic surgeons to be knowledgeable about the history of Monteggia fractures, common pathologic mechanisms, closed reduction techniques, surgical indications and methods, and outcomes, in addition to preferred management principles.
