Abstract:
Monteggia fracture is uncommon in humans, which includes a fracture of the proximal ulna associated with an ipsilateral radial dislocation of the head [1], the association of a fracture of the distal radius and a fracture of Monteggia remains exceptional and rare. We report the case of a 36-year-old patient who presented with a Monteggia fracture associated with a distal radius fracture; emergency management was based on osteosynthesis of the ulna using a DCP screwed plate, with osteosynthesis of the distal radius using a Kapandji type plug-in. Functional results were satisfactory with an elbow that was free with 110 ° flexion and full extension. For the wrist, the patient keeps minimal pain with a flexion at 50 °, an extension at 40 °. The follow-up was 4 months.
