Bado Classification (Paediatric) — Monteggia & Equivalents
Type I: Anterior radial head dislocation with anterior angulated ulnar fracture — most common in children. Type II: Posterior/posterolateral dislocation; Type III: Lateral/anterior-lateral dislocation; Type IV: Both-bone fractures + radial head dislocation. Equivalents: Variants with plastic deformation or isolated ulna fracture + radial head dislocation; must realign ulna to reduce radius.
