[1] The injury is typically caused by axial loading on a partially flexed metacarpal and may be associated with other carpal bone fractures or ligament injuries. The posterior (Bado type-II) fracture is the most common type of Monteggia fracture in adults. - hence dislocation of radial head w/ frx of proximal 1/3 of ulna is known as Monteggia's deformity. In his classic 1943 text, Watson-Jones stated that "no fracture presents so many problems; no injury is beset with greater difficulty; no treatment is characterized by more general failure." (1/8), Level 3 Whenever a fracture of a long bone is noted, the joints above and below should be evaluated with radiographs in orthogonal planes (planes at 90 angles to each other).

Problems with the elbow related to fractures of the coronoid process and the radial head, which are common with Bado type-II Monteggia fractures, remain the most challenging elements in the treatment of these injuries. He founded Orthopaedic Specialists of North Carolina in 2001 and practices at Franklin Regional Medical Center and Duke Raleigh Hospital. The fracture of the radial head was treated with either complete or partial excision of the fragments in twelve patients (with replacement with a silicone prosthesis in two), open reduction and internal fixation in ten patients, and no intervention in four patients. 2015 Nov. 31 (4):565-80.

The radius and ulna are closely invested by the interosseous membrane, which accounts for the increased risk of displacement or injury to the radius when the ulna fractures. After undergoing closed reduction, the radiocapitellar joint is noted to remain non-concentric. Steven I Rabin, MD, FAAOS Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola University, Chicago Stritch School of Medicine; Medical Director, Musculoskeletal Services, Dreyer Medical Clinic Wang C, Su Y. 2011 Feb. 77 (1):21-6.
