Metaizeau technique in stabilizing Monteggia equivalent 1b associated proximal radial physeal injury in a rural setting: a case report
In cases of Monteggia fracture equivalents, most proximal radial fractures typically reduce to an acceptable level following ulnar reduction. However, proximal radial physeal fractures may require specific attention to achieve satisfactory reduction. The Metaizeau technique, commonly employed in the management of isolated radial neck fractures, can be utilized to achieve this reduction to an acceptable level.
