Abstract
Palmar dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is a rare injury, irreducible type being the usual pattern, and the treatment of choice is by surgery. We report a case of a complete palmar dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) of the little finger occurring in a 40-year-old male. There is no mention in literature about reducible palmar dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint. This article describes a case of reducible palmar dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) little finger treated conservatively. The long-term results of hand and finger function after 4 years were excellent without residual deformity.
