Double dislocation of the interphalangeal joints in the finger. Case report and review of publications

Simultaneous extraarticular fracture of the base of the first metacarpal and dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb: A case report

Double fracture-dislocations of the thumb are rare. Only a single case report of a simultaneous extra- articular fracture of the base of the first metacarpal and dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint has been previously reported. We report the second case report of this injury in a 20-year-old man. The patient had an excellent outcome after treatment.

Unusual double dislocation of both joints in a same finger: a case report

Simultaneous dislocation of both interphalangeal (IP) joints of same finger is a highly uncommon finding. And dislocation of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint along with interphalangeal joints of thumb are reported in literatures if, scarcely. Here we are reporting the three cases, comprising of double dislocation of IP joints in little finger in two patients and simultaneous MCP and IP joint dislocation in thumb in another third patients as a perusal of rare entity from the northern India.

IRREDUCIBLE SIMULTANEOUS DISLOCATION OF BOTH INTERPHALANGEAL JOINTS IN THE LITTLE FINGER: A CASE REPORT

We present a case with irreducible simultaneous dislocation of both the distal interphalangeal (DIP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints in the little finger. A combination of the delay from injury to closed reduction and the entrapped flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon at the PIP joint prevented closed reduction from being performed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such a condition.

Dorsal dislocation of the distal interphalangeal joint and volar dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint in the same finger: a case report

Double dislocations of the finger interphalangeal and/or metacarpophalangeal joints are a rare entity. Sixty-four cases of distal and proximal interphalangeal joint double dislocations have been previously reported. Five cases of metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal double dislocations of the thumb have also been reported. Only one case has been reported in the English literature regarding simultaneous dislocations of the distal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints in the nonthumb digit. The directions of the dislocation were the same; both were dorsal. We report, to our knowledge, the first ever case of a double dislocation a non-thumb digit in opposing directions-volar at the metacarpophalangeal joint and dorsal at the distal interphalangeal joint.

[Double dislocation of the interphalangeal joints of the little finger, a report of two cases]

Two cases of simultaneous traumatic dorsal dislocation of the interphalangeal joints of the little finger are described. In both cases the patients were managed by closed reduction and neighbour strapping followed by immediate mobilisation. At review, no complications were noted. The range of movements of all the affected joints was normal.
