Abstract

Authors experienced a rare injury in a 5-year-old girl with Monteggia fracture and concomitant lateral condyle fracture of humerus with radial nerve injury.

This unusual fractures were treated by open reduction and K-wire fixation of lateral condyle fracture and transcapitellar K-wire fixation of radial head dislocation.
