Abstract
5 year old girl presented to A&E following a fall from the swing. On examination there was tenderness along her right arm, with visible gross deformity. X-rays confirmed that she has a Montaggia type 4 fracture showing multiple fractures along the ulna and radius with dislocation at the proximal radius and dorsal radial displacement. The prompt diagnosis and management of the injury resulted in a favourable outcome.
