Description
Ipsilateral elbow and wrist injuries are uncommon in children. We present a case of Bado type III Monteggia fracture dislocation with ipsilateral Salter Harris type I epiphyseal injury of distal radius in a 10-year-old boy. A good result was achieved with early closed reduction and percutaneous K wire fixation. This case emphasizes that whenever a fracture is detected around wrist and elbow in children, early anatomical reduction is required for good functional outcome
