Corrective ulnar osteotomy for malunited anterior Monteggia lesions in children: 12 patients followed for 1-12 years

Abstract: We reviewed 12 children, mean 5 (1-12) years, after corrective osteotomy of the ulna, combined with open reduction of the radial head for malunited anterior Monteggia lesions (Bado type I). A simple corrective osteotomy was used in the first 6 patients (group A) and a posterior angular 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… Show more

“…Though limited to retrospective series with small cohort sizes, several groups have reported satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes following various combinations of annular ligament repair or reconstruction [3,8,32,38], ulnar osteotomy [8,9,18,20,33,37] (with [32,38] or without bone graft; with [8,9,11,13,14,22,32,38] or without [4,20] fixation), and radiocapitellar [4,8] or radioulnar temporary Kirschner wire fixation. Often, as seen in our case, reduction of the radiocapitellar joint is possible only following resection of the interposed capsule, torn annular ligament, and fibrous scar tissue within the proximal radioulnar and radiocapitellar joints and an ulnar diaphyseal osteotomy.…”

“…Ulnar osteotomy is the key procedure in achieving and maintaining reduction as it addresses the primary deformity in the ulna [28] . Decreased length of the ulna and the angulation of the ulna in the direction opposite to the dislocation of the radial head are the most important findings leading to persistence of RHD [29] .…”

“…Hirayama et al [31] recommended a lengthening ulnar osteotomy with overcorrection of the ulnar deformity. Inoue et al [28] compared the results of simple and over-correction osteotomy of the ulna and found that the results were significantly better with overcorrection osteotomy. This was because of inadequate correction of ulnar deformity in patients with simple osteotomy, resulting in residual subluxation.…”
