Abstract

In this case, a 46-year-old man suffered a high-energy trauma and arrived at the hospital two hours after the injury. He had severe swelling in his left cubital area, numbness in the areas supplied by the median nerve, and no detectable radial or ulnar pulse. X-rays revealed a Monteggia fracture-dislocation (BADO type IV). Recognizing the urgency, we immediately took him to the operating room for surgical decompression. A fasciotomy was performed on the distal brachial region and forearm, successfully restoring blood flow. Given the significant swelling, we left the wound open and used a stepwise closure approach. Three adaptive sutures with wires and two Nelaton catheters were placed to allow slow, atraumatic wound approximation. An external fixator was applied to stabilize the fracture temporarily. The wound was kept moist with daily saline dressings, and over the course of 15 days, the sutures were gradually tightened until complete closure was achieved.
