| Abstrakt: | Fractures involving the proximal ulna and radial head are common injuries that occur in the upper extremity, often resulting from traumatic incidents such as falls or direct impact. The proximal ulna forms the elbow joint with the humerus, while the radial head articulates with both the humerus and the ulna, facilitating forearm rotation. Fractures in these areas can disrupt the stability and function of the elbow joint, leading to pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. Clinically, it is more common to observe a radial head dislocation with a proximal ulna fracture. This fracture is referred to as a Monteggia fracture-dislocation. A radial head fracture and proximal ulna fracture occurring independently are not frequently encountered. In this study, we aim to discuss the surgical intervention performed on a patient with fractures of the proximal ulna and radial head, as well as the postoperative physical therapy follow-up.
