Abstract Introduction Simultaneous Monteggia injuries of the elbow and ipsilateral distal radius and ulna fractures are very rare. Case Presentation A unique case of a type I Monteggia fracture equivalent with ipsilateral fracture of the distal radius and ulna Salter-Harris type II in a child is reported. We describe the management of this unique fracture and discuss the possible mechanism of injury. Conclusion We have highlighted a rare combination of injuries. Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention can lead to a satisfactory outcome even in these complex injuries. Introduction The term Monteggia lesion is applied to all forearm injuries that have a dislocation of the radial head and fracture of the ulna. This injury is relatively uncommon in children. We report a unique case of a type I Monteggia fracture equivalent 1 with ipsilateral fracture of the distal radius and ulna in a child. To the best of the authors knowledge there have been no reports in the literature of cases with
