Monteggia injuries in children.

Forty-six children with Monteggia fracture-dislocations have been studied. The circumstances of the accident could rarely be recalled so that the mechanism of injury remains unclear. The study did, however, confirm the importance of conservative management of the injury in children; unlike the adult variety, this gave very satisfactory results. Our review also supports the classification into three basic types of Monteggia lesion according to the direction of displacement of the dislocated radial head. For simplicity, all other types, variations or equivalents can be regarded as belonging to these basic patterns; in particular we include those controversial cases in which the radiohumeral dislocation is combined with a fractured olecranon.
