“…It accounts for 3-6% of adult forearm fractures [1]. Its association with a Montéggia fracture is rare but a dozen cases have been described in the literature [2]. The Galéazzi fracture associated with an ipsilateral ulna fracture and an olecranon fracture is even more rare and we have not found any reported cases.…”

Introduction: Tripolar lesions of the thoracic limb are rare. We report a rare a Galéazzi fracture associated with an ipsilateral fracture of ulna and olecranon in a 45-year-old patient. Surgical management has been delayed due to limited resources of the patient. Case presentation: It was a 45-year-old man admitted in our emergency after a fallen on bicycle. He presented a fracture of olecranon, shaft bone fracture of radius and ulnar, and distal radio-ulnar disjunction. The assessment at 18 months has found a consolidation of fractures. The elbow and wrist regained joint range, but we noted a limitation of prono-supination related to radioulnar synostosis. This limitation had no impact on the professional and sporting activities of the patient. Conclusion: Apart the difficulties to describe mechanism responsible of this complex lesion, the functional prognosis of the limb depends on a correct diagnosis and adequate management. At the last follow-up, the patient was satisfied with the result obtained. Longer term follow-up will allow us to determine the issue of this complex lesion in this patient. For the moment patient is not complained so wejust wait and see. Keywords: Galeazzi fracture, distal radioulnar disjunction, fractures, forearm, olecranon.

“…6 There are only a handful of reports having Monteggia and Galeazzi fracture-dislocation in the same patient and few reports of Monteggia and distal radius fractures. 7-9 We did not document DRUJ dislocation component as per Moore criterion and the patient being a migratory laborer never returned. The Monteggia variant is unique and authors feel that the imaging of this ‘rare of a rare’ fracture pattern is worth sharing with the orthopedics community, particularly students.…”

“…X-ray of the right forearm on the 12 th day following surgery.isolated Monteggia and Galeazzi fractures is estimated at approximately 1% -2% Monteggia and 3% -6% of Galeazzi fractures[4] [6].Considering the traumatic mechanism, Monteggia fracture results from a direct impact on the ulnar diaphysis, producing dislocation of the radial head, and indirect shock by falling on the hand, with the wrist in extension. Galeazzi fracture results from a direct dorso-radial impact on a forearm in forced pronation and an extended wrist[3] [6] [7][8].…”

Introduction: Homolateral combined fractures of Monteggia and Galeazzi are very rare. Their treatment is exclusively surgical and should be proposed early in order to restore the anatomy of the antebrachial skeleton, pronosupination, and the flexion-extension of the elbow and wrist. Observation: We reported the case of a 45-year-old woman who presented a homolateral fracture of Monteggia and Galeazzi following a road accident. This combination of fractures posed a problem of diagnosis and management. Surgical follow-up presented functional issues. Conclusion: The association of Monteggia and Galeazzi fracture is very rare and poorly reported in the literature. This observation reminds us of the importance of performing a complete clinical and paraclinical assessment before any therapeutic decision.
