Resumen
VEGA FERNANDEZ, Enrique y LOPEZ BELTRAN, Rubén. Monteggia fracture in children: A propos of 2 cases. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2006, vol.20, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3100.
Monteggia fracture, described in 1814, consists in the fracture of the proximal third of the cubitus associated with an anterior luxation of the proximal radiocubital joint. This lesion is uncommon in children. Its immediate diagnosis is crucial to obtain good future functional results. Occasionally, they are not early diagnosed. Two cases with lesion that were surgically treated were reported. One of them, had 5 weeks of evolution after the initial trauma.
