    Monteggia fracture aka night-stick fracture.

    Why night-stick # ?

    becos if u happen to sneak in the middle of the night to meet ur gf and her awake and alert father confronts u with a stick directed to ur head and u bring ur forearms up to cover ur head, then the ulna will take the brunt of the stick and b fractured.....no kidding     :hhh:

    Note : I am not talking from experience.
