ABSTRACT
A Monteggia fracture-dislocation involves a proximal one-third of the ulna fracture with a concomitant dislocation of the radial head proximally at the elbow. This fracture and dislocation often results from a fall on the outstretched hand (FOOSH) low-energy mechanism of injury. One must have a high index of suspicion with any ulnar fractures to look for a radial head dislocation so that the dislocation component is not missed. These injuries often require early orthopedic intervention. Any delays in treatment can lead to poor long-term outcomes including chronic valgus instability and radiocapitellar osteoarthrosis.
