1

The five-in-one surgical technique effectively treats chronic Monteggia fractures in pediatric patients, combining multiple surgical interventions.
2

Seventeen children with Bado Type I chronic Monteggia fractures underwent the five-in-one surgery, achieving anatomical reduction in 15 patients.
3

The study reported a redislocation rate of 11.8%, with significant improvements in elbow flexion and extension postoperatively.
4

All ulnar osteotomies achieved bony union, and no serious complications occurred during the study period.
