“…Bado described four types of Monteggia fracture (I-IV) and a group of injuries with similar characteristics termed as Monteggia equivalents [3]. The majority of these equivalents include the variants of type I Monteggia fracture [4]. Type III Monteggia equivalent fracture occurs rarely and is described according to Bado classification,…”

Type III Monteggia equivalent fracture is a rare injury, and its optimal diagnosis and management are still unclear. Reporting two cases of type III Monteggia equivalent fracture in two boys who were surgically treated the day after the presentation.This study presents two cases of type III Monteggia equivalent fracture in two boys who were surgically treated the day after the presentation. These observations suggest that the timely surgical treatment of type III Monteggia equivalent fracture results in acceptable outcomes. However, the lack of a universal classification system limits the generalization of the results

Fracture of the forearm with ipsilateral dislocation of the elbow is uncommon. Such double injuries are often missed at initial assessment. We report a case of triple injury of forearm and elbow-open elbow dislocation, closed distal radius, and ulna fracture with missed medial epicondyle fracture. To the best of our knowledge, this has not been previously described in literature. The most probable mechanism of injury is a fall on outstretched hand with wrist in dorsiflexion causing the distal radius and ulna fracture with dorsal displacement. Further continuation of the axial compression along with supination of the forearm and valgus at the elbow resulted in posterolateral elbow dislocation and a medial epicondyle avulsion. Early debridement and reduction resulted in satisfactory function. The report attempts to highlight the importance of good clinical and radiological assessment and to understand the mechanism of injury, to rule out other injuries caused by the same mechanism.
