Type I Monteggia fracture in a kitten; a review on diagnostic and therapeutic methods

Abstract

In this paper, it was aimed to report the type I Monteggia fracture in a kitten and its treatment results. In clinical examination of a 4-month-old female kitten brought to our clinic with complaints of lameness in the front left leg after automobile trauma it was diagnosed with a fracture in 1/3 proximal diaphyseal of ulna with cranial dislocation of the radial head. Following general anesthesia, ulnar fracture was fixed with intramedullary nail that was sent as anterograde from the processus olecrani, and the reduction of the radius head was easily placed. Then, it was repaired suturing with polypropylene of the ligamentum radii annulare. It was understood that the kitten could use the extremity smoothly and functionally in postoperative 2 months. Consequently, the internal fixation with intramedullary nail was sufficient, and therefore it was thought to be a successful method for type I Monteggia fracture in kittens or cats.
