Monteggia fracture is a rare fracture in daily life. Many people don't know much about Monteggia fracture. Next, let's share what is Monteggia fracture.

What is Monteggia fracture

First of all, the straight type can touch the radial head in the cubital fossa, the forearm is shortened, and the ulna is angled forward. The flexion type can reach the radial head behind the elbow, and the ulna is angulated backward. Adduction type can reach the radial head on the lateral side of elbow and the proximal end of ulna to form an angle outward.

Secondly, the extension type is more common in children. The elbow joint is extended or over extended, the forearm is supinated, the palm touches the ground, and the body gravity is transmitted downward along the humerus. First, the ulnar upper 1 / 3 oblique fracture is caused. Residual violence forces the radial head to dislocate anterolaterally, and the fracture end forms an angle to the palmar and radial sides. For those injured by direct violence, the fracture is mostly transverse or comminuted.

Finally, in the case of Monteggia fracture, the treatment effect of general drugs is not particularly obvious, so we can choose surgical treatment plus fixation to better treat this disease.
