The problem of Monteggia fracture-dislocations in children

J P Dormans et al. Orthop Clin North Am. 1990 Apr.

Abstract

When a Monteggia fracture is recognized and treated immediately, the results are excellent. Poor results are mostly caused by initially missing the diagnosis. Operative intervention is usually required for those fractures that are unstable after manipulation or recognized too late after injury.
