Monteggia lesion (neglected)
The Monteggia lesion (or fracture) is a fracture of the ulna associated with a dislocation of the radial head. If this lesion is not recognized or is treated inadequately (for example, by treating only the ulna fracture), the radial head dislocation may persist , which will progressively become more difficult to treat.
We use modern and excellent surgical techniques to intervene on the pathology “Monteggia lesion (neglected)“

Treatment of Monteggia lesion (or fracture) includes several options:
- reconstruction and realignment surgeries (ulna osteotomies, lengthening of the ulna with external fixator, ligamentous plasty, etc.)
