The type II Monteggia (posterior) lesion is a rare injury which is sometimes associated with ulnohumeral instability. We have reviewed 23 of 28 patients with this injury. A clinical and radiographic assessment was undertaken at follow-up. Functional outcome scores, including the Broberg and Morrey Index and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder or Hand (DASH), were used. The results from the six patients with associated

MRI showed ventral compression of the medullocervical junction.
Skull traction was undertaken pre-operatively to determine whether
the basilar impression could be safely reduced. During traction,
the C3/C4 junction migrated 12 mm caudally and spasticity resolved.
