Record 1 2010-07-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiography (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
DEF

A fracture of the middle or proximal third of the ulna associated with dislocation of the radial head, most commonly anterior.

OBS

Presently, the term Monteggia's fracture has been used to describe fractures of the proximal ulna accompanied by all dislocations of the radial head; however, based on the original presentation, it should probably be reserved only for those with anterior dislocation. A fracture of the proximal ulna with posterior dislocation of the radial head has been referred to as a reverse Monteggia's fracture.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radiographie (Médecine)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
DEF

Fracture cubitale diaphysaire ou métaphysaire supérieure associée à une luxation de l'articulation radio-cubitale supérieure, le plus souvent antérieure.

OBS

Le terme fracture de Monteggia désigne toute fracture métaphyso-diaphysaire du cubitus associée à une luxation de la tête radiale, quelqu'en soit le type. La fracture de Monteggia typique, cependant, s'accompagne d'une luxation antérieure. Lorsque la luxation est postérieure, la fracture porte généralement le nom de fracture de Monteggia inversée.

Record 2 1992-09-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiography (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
DEF

A line bisecting the proximal radial shaft, normally passing through the capitellum on every radiographic view irrespective of the position in which it is obtained. If the line fails to pass through the capitellum, dislocation of the radial head or displacement of the capitellum is indicated. This is of particular value in recognizing the dislocation component of a Monteggia's fracture. [From RSKEL, 1982, p. 439. ]

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radiographie (Médecine)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
DEF

En flexion comme en extension, l'axe de la diaphyse radiale passe par le centre du noyau condylien. La ligne radiocondylienne, rapport anatomique important en traumatologie infantile, est modifiée dans les luxations de la tête radiale; l'axe du radius passe au-dessus du centre du point condylien épiphysaire inférieur.
