Abstract: Monteggia lesion is a rare fracture in which ulna shaft fracture and radial head dislocation occur together. Monteggia equivalent is the lesion associated with ulna shaft fracture and radius head and/or neck fracture. We offer a case of Monteggia equivalent in a 9-years-old boy. In the surgery of the patient, anatomical plating was performed for ulna shaft fracture and intramedullary nail was applied for radius neck fracture. When we look at the literature, such case reports are very rare.
Conclusion: In the 1-year follow-up of the patient, there was no loss in flexion, extension, supination and pronation range of motion.
