Jupiter Classification
Introduction
Overview[1][2]
In 1803, Giovanni Battista Monteggia, an Italian surgeon, describe the Monteggia fracture as: a fracture of the proximal third of the ulna with the dislocation of the head of radius.
In 1967, Jose Luis Bado, used the “Monteggia lesion” terminology and classified this injury into the four types.
In 1991, Jupiter JB and colleagues from Boston expanded the Bado’s type II description of posterior Monteggia fracture-dislocation.
