  "abstract": "Purpose\n\nThis study aims to compare the effectiveness and clinical value of ultrasound-assisted and arthrography-assisted treatment for acute Monteggia fractures in young children.Methods\n\nWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 40 cases of acute Monteggia fractures in children treated with Kirschner wire or elastic intramedullary nail fixation between April 2020 and April 2025. Among these cases, 19 were treated under arthrography assistance (Group A), and 21 were treated under ultrasound guidance (Group B). We recorded baseline data for both groups, including gender, age, fracture side and type, associated injuries, time from injury to surgery, internal fixation device, fluoroscopy time, surgical duration, follow-up duration, and internal fixation removal time. Postoperative X-ray examination was performed to assess the quality of fracture reduction.Results\n\nFluoroscopy time and surgical duration in Group B were significantly lower than in Group A (P < 0.05). Based on the evaluation criteria for assessing reduction quality, 17 cases were graded excellent, and 2 were considered good in Group A, while in Group B, 20 cases were deemed excellent and 1 was considered good. At the final follow-up, there was no significant difference in the range of elbow flexion, extension, pronation, and supination between the affected limbs of Group A and Group B (P > 0.05).Conclusion\n\nUltrasound not only saves surgical time and reduces intraoperative radiation exposure for the patients but also enables the exploration of peripheral nerves, vessels, and soft tissue compressions.",
