Missed monteggia dislocation with plastic deformation of ulna
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: isolated radial head dislocation with plastic deformation of ulna is a frequently missed injury in pediatric age group. Most common error is incomplete X-Ray survey in initial medical attention. Proximal ulnar osteotomy with radial head reduction is associated with predictable outcome. Material and method: In a prospective study of 3 patients with mean age 6.3 years, who presented with isolated radial head dislocation with plastic deformation of ulna. All three patients treated with proximal ulnar osteotomy with open radial head reduction without annular ligament reconstruction. We used kim criteria to assess the elbow function. Result: Average follow up duration was 12 months. All osteotomy healed well. All patients had excellent results with kims criteria.
