Neglected Posterior Dislocation of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint of the 5th Finger by Incarceration of the Volar Plate: About A Case

Abstract

Volar dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint phalanx of the fingers is a very rare entity. Indeed, there is still no consensus that specifies the treatment of this injury. The closed reduction external maneuver should always be tried first intention, but it can lead to failure and will be followed by surgical treatment. We report the case of palmar dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint phalangeal pure treated by opened and surgical reduction, followed by an arhtorisis by a Kirschner pin size 16.
