Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 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. 4, record 3, English, - Monteggia%27s%20fracture

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. 2, record 3, French, - fracture%20de%20Monteggia
