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.

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.)
