| Abstract: | Acute injuries of the proximal radius and ulna can be challenging to manage. This review article summarizes the classification, injury patterns, treatment and outcome of fractures of the olecranon, coronoid process, adult Monteggia fracture dislocations and radial head fractures. Undisplaced fractures and stable injuries can be treated conservatively and displaced and complex injuries should be treated surgically to permit early range of motion with a functional rehabilitation programme. |
