Deskripsi

【Abstract】 Elbow dislocation with concomitant dia-physeal fractures of radius and ulna has been reported rarely. This injury could be included in Monteggia equivalent le-sions based on the mechanism of injury, radiographic pat-tern and method of treatment as described by Bado. We report a rare case of Monteggia equivalent lesion in an adult with unclear mechanism of injury. The possible mechanism of injury, its management and the follow-up results were described. An attempt to solve the controversy regarding whether labeling it as type 1 or type 2 was made. Key words: Elbow; Dislocations; Monteggia’s fracture; Fracture fixation, internal
