G. Inoue et K. Shionoya, CORRECTIVE ULNAR OSTEOTOMY FOR MALUNITED ANTERIOR MONTEGGIA LESIONS IN CHILDREN - 12 PATIENTS FOLLOWED FOR 1-12 YEARS, Acta orthopaedica Scandinavica, 69(1), 1998, pp. 73-76
We reviewed 12 children, mean 5 (1-12) years, after corrective osteoto
my of the ulna, combined with open reduction of the radial head for ma
lunited anterior Monteggia lesions (Bado type I). A simple corrective
osteotomy was used in the first 6 patients (group A) and a posterior a
ngular osteotomy was used in the second group of 6 patients (group B).
All osteotomies healed uneventfully, but 3 patients had a persistent
dislocation of the radial head. children who had been treated with an
angular osteotomy had the best clinical outcome.
