Abstract

A combined Galeazzi and Monteggia fracture dislocation is very rare and there are few reported cases in the English literature worldwide. However, the described injuries are not classical of either fracture dislocation. Both in children and in adults the reported literature does not show classical fracture types of either Galeazzi or Monteggia lesion in the same forearm. Our patient had the classical combination of both Galeazzi and Monteggia fracture in the same forearm. We have described the rare mechanism of injury and management for this injury based on a review of the literature.
