Abstract

We present two cases of ipsilateral Monteggia fracture-dislocations and intercondylar distal humerus fractures in adults. To our knowledge, this combination of injuries has not been described in skeletally mature individuals. Both patients were treated with rigid internal fixation of the bony injuries as well as early rehabilitation protocols. Despite the severity of the injuries, both patients had satisfactory results. Adherence to established internal fixation protocols is critical in the treatment of complex upper extremity injuries.
