“…This type of injury was first reported by Bartels in 1874 [2]. Since then, only case reports have been reported in the literature [3][4][5][6]. In this paper, two cases of double dislocation of both DIP and PIP joints in a single finger are reported, alongside with a panorama of the current literature.…”

“…Thus, it is obvious that it is not a “simultaneous” dislocation, but two separate actions that occur in a quick succession and result to this double dislocation of both distal and proximal joints. Also, this type of injury may be accompanied with avulsion fracture of the volar side of the base middle phalanx [ 10 , 12 ] and rupture of the central slip of the extensor tendon [ 5 ]. In our cases, there were not any accompanying avulsion fractures or tendon injuries.…”

Double interphalangeal joint dislocation of the same finger is a rare condition. We report two cases of adolescent athletes with distal and proximal interphalangeal joint dislocation. The diagnosis was confirmed with plain radiograph, while anatomical reduction was easily obtained with gentle longitudinal traction. A simple immobilization of the injured finger was applied by buddy taping for two weeks. Early mobilization as tolerated was recommended, and they have made a full return to their previous status of activities within 5 months. We also provide a review of the literature detailing demographic characteristics, cause and mechanism of injury with associated injuries, treatment options, and functional outcomes in this population.
