V-Shaped Corrective Ulnar Osteotomy in Neglected Monteggia Fracture Dislocation in Children

Neglected Monteggia fracture dislocation in children constitutes significant disability in respect to pain, stiffness, deformity, neurological compromise and restriction of activities of daily living.

V-Shaped Corrective Ulnar Osteotomy
Many treatment strategies have been described to manage neglected Monteggia fracture dislocation and one of these strategies is the ulnar osteotomy for restoration of the ulnar length and reduction of the radial head with annular ligament reconstruction for restoration of the elbow biomechanics for this difficult problem.
