title: Monteggia lesion and ipsilateral humeral supracondylar and distal radial fractures in a young girl.
abstract: Ipsilateral supracondylar humeral and forearm fractures are uncommon in children. We present an unusual case of a 4-year-old girl with an ipsilateral supracondylar humeral fracture, Monteggia lesion, and distal metaphyseal radial fracture. Our management consisted of closed reduction and immobilization with plaster splint. The patient had an excellent result and full function.
