ReviewFunctional outcomes of pediatric true and equivalent Monteggia fractures - Review of the literature.
This study aims to describe the functional outcome of true and equivalent Monteggia fracture-dislocations in the pediatric population. We also provided a review of the literature about the treatment options. ⋯ The true/equivalent Monteggia fractures' main treatment goal is to restore the ulnar length. Conservative treatment, with a close follow-up, is the first option if closed reduction can be achieved. If closed reduction is not possible, careful preop-erative planning and early rehabilitation are key to success for management of Monteggia fractures.
