[Monteggia injuries. Therapy and late results in 204 cases].
A follow-up check of 204 Monteggia fracture-dislocation in two clinics showed that in 84% of the cases an operative treatment led to good functional late results. In 65% of the patients treated conservatively, the mobility of the elbow was evidently limited. Plate fixation has been proved to stabilize ulna fractures, a suture of the anular ligament was in the majority of cases not required.
