A Monteggia fracture involves a fracture of the proximal ulna accompanied by dislocation of the head of the radius at the elbow. It usually results from a fall on an outstretched hand with the forearm in excessive pronation. The injury disrupts the normal alignment of the elbow joint and can be easily missed if the radial head dislocation is not recognized. Prompt diagnosis and proper reduction are essential to restore joint stability and prevent long-term complications such as limited forearm rotation or nerve injury.
