Masters thesis, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Abstract
Fractures of the foreann with dislocation of the radial head are known as Monteggia
fractures-dislocation. This eponym is among the most widely recognized by orthopaedic
surgeons, largely because of the notoriously poor results associated with the treatment of
these injuries, particularly in adults. In addition to restoration of length, apposition and
normal axial alignment and correct rotational alignment must also be achieved if a good
range of pronation and supination is to be restored.
