The close proximity of these nerves may lead to injuries when a Monteggia fracture occurs. Prompt recognition of this injury is imperative. Bado JL. [11, 12] Of the Monteggia fractures, Bado type I has been reported to be the most common (59%), followed by type III (26%), type II (5%), and type IV (1%). Treatment may be closed reduction and casting for length stable ulna fractures with a stable radiocapitellar joint. (0/1), Level 5 Although most pediatric fracture patterns can be managed conservatively with closed reduction and long arm casting, most adult fractures require open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). In a retrospective study on the functional and radiologic long-term outcome of ORIF in 11 skeletally mature patients with Bado type I Monteggia fractures, Guitton et al found that the mean arc of elbow flexion increased from 110 at early follow-up to 120 at late follow-up.

(0/8), Level 2 The results of the present series are much better than those reported in most earlier studies, suggesting that stable anatomical fixation of the ulnar fracture (including associated fracture fragments of the coronoid process) with a plate and screws inserted with use of current techniques of fixation leads to a satisfactory result in most adults who have a Monteggia fracture.
