The Montecranon classification—a comprehensive treatment strategy for complex proximal ulna fracture dislocations
The MC with special attention to involvement of ligamentous structures, the coronoid process, and the radial head, as well as an associated structured reduction technique, is helpful for the management of complex proximal ulna fracture dislocations. Despite the high rate of secondary surgeries, the final clinical outcome may lead to good to excellent results in 90% of the cases. However, young surgeons with less experience seemed to profit more from this classification than experts.
