Abstract

We encountered a rare presentation of anterolateral dislocation of the radial head with plastic lateral bowing of the ulna associated with ipsilateral epiphyseal fracture of the distal radius in a child. The patient was treated surgically and reached skeletal maturity 4 years later with no functional or growth deficiency.

Keywords: Monteggia lesion; epiphyseal fracture; plastic deformity.
