A Rare Pediatric Monteggia Equivalent Fracture: Case Report, Literature Review and a New Proposed Pediatric Bado Classification

Abstract

Variations of Monteggia fractures are uncommon in the pediatric population and demand a high suspicion for early recognition and treatment. The involvement of the radial head in these types of injury isn’t well documented, but literary reports are growing. We report a case of a poorly documented variant of a Monteggia Equivalent Fracture with a Salter-Harris II fracture of the radial head with medial displacement and propose a new approach to the Bado classification in the pediatric population based on a literature review.
