Stable anatomical fixation of the ulnar fracture (including associated fracture fragments of the coronoid process) with a plate and screws inserted with use of current techniques of fixation leads to a satisfactory result in most adults who have a Monteggia fracture. The posterior (Bado type-II) fracture is the most common type of Monteggia fracture in adults.
