Simultaneous double dislocation of the interphalangeal joints of the fourth finger: A case report
International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences · 2018 · Vol. 4(4) · pp. 772–774
Abstract
Double dislocation of the proximal (PIP) and the distal interphalangeal (DIP) remains an extremely rare entity. The association with a metacarpal fracture of the same hand reflects the violence of the trauma. We report a case of simultaneous bipolar dorsal dislocation of the interphalangeal joints of the fourth finger associated with a fracture of the 3rd metacarpal bone, managed by a closed reduction and neighbour strapping associated with a plastered cuff, with a good out came.
