Case Report: Here, we present a case of 26 year old male with 3 months old fracture dislocation of 2nd MCP joint Right hand, which was managed by open dorsal approach with proper reduction, k wire xation and good functional outcome. We expe Conclusion: rienced when dislocation is complete, with the head of the metacarpal displaced towards the volar side and the base of the phalanx towards the dorsal side, the dorsal approach of is found to be safe and simple with good visualization, negligible injury to Neurovascular structure and better xation
