Monteggia's fracture-dislocation is a common fracture pattern seen in children. In this case report, an unusual injury pattern, consisting of a dislocation of the radial head with ipsilateral fractures of the distal radius and ulna, is described. This fracture-dislocation may represent a variation of Monteggia's lesion.
