Treatment of a Monteggia fracture case complicated by ignored tetanos, with a limb lengthening apparatus

Abstract

It is complicated to treat delayed pediatric. Monteggia type fracture-dislocations. A seven year-old male patient of open Monteggia fracture-dislocation was initially treated by closed reduction in an urban hospital. With the development of tetanus infection the reduction became ineffective. A different course of treatment was then carried out. At the first session we have performed gradual distraction by an external fixator which is used for epiphyseal distraction in our clinic. As a conseauence redial head brought to the level of capitellum and fractured segments of ulna were appositioned. At the secont session, radial head was reduced and osteosynthesis of ulna was performed.
