Management of bilateral complex fracture-dislocation of proximal ulna and radius: a case report.

Complex fracture-dislocation of proximal ulna and radius (FDUR) are rare, representing only 2-5 % of elbow injuries. Monteggia-like lesions and transolecranon fractures include various patterns of complex FDUR, which are not well defined. The management of these injuries is considered extremely difficult, and clinical results are often poor. In this report, we present a case of a 66-year-old woman with bilateral complex FDUR. This pattern of injury is very rare and little information is available about its management. Diagnosis, surgical technique, rehabilitation programme and clinical results are reported. The bilaterality of the condition does not appear to influence the treatment and results.
