Monteggia fractures in paediatric patients typically involve an ulnar fracture accompanied by radial head dislocation. While the classical presentation is well-documented, atypical presentations can complicate diagnosis. This communication discusses various atypical presentations of Monteggia fractures, emphasizing the importance of recognizing these patterns to ensure timely and appropriate management, thereby preventing potential complications [1,2].
