Simultaneous dorsal dislocation of both interphalangeal joints in a finger

Abstract: This paper has described three cases of simultaneous dorsal dislocation of both interphalangeal joints of a finger. Although two of three patients had minimal limitation of the active range of motion of the PIP and DIP joint, none had complaints of functional disability in their finger.

“…The mechanism of injury relates to a hyperextension with an element of rotatory force, first on the distal phalanx, causing a dorsal dislocation of the DIPJ, and then on the middle phalanx causing dislocation of the PIPJ 3 4. Bone avulsion and volar plate injuries have been reported 5 6. In our case report, there was no accompanying bone fracture.…”

“…S'il n'existe pas d'indication chirurgicale, il est recommandé d'immobiliser l'IPP et l'IPD en rectitude par une attelle interdisant l'hyperextension, pour une durée de deux à trois semaines afin de permettre une guérison des phénomènes inflammatoires, puis de débuter ensuite une rééducation pour combattre la raideur et les douleurs résiduelles [4,12].…”

“…Les luxations bipolaires au niveau d'un même rayon de la main restent rares, on en dénombre 61 cas dans la littérature [1,2,4,6,7,9,12,13,14]. Dans la majorité des cas le traitement est alors orthopédique comprenant une immobilisation par une attelle, maintenant les articulations interphalangiennes proximale (IPP) et distale (IPD) en rectitude pendant deux à trois semaines, suivie de rééducation.…”

“…In late presenting cases open reduction is needed but it compromises the result. Nasviaser et al and Chan et al have reported good results in their cases, but there are few reports, which ultimately needed fusion of joint due to pain (18, 19). For immobilization we avoided functional position because, in the deficiency of additional soft tissue stabilizer there is attendant loss of joint congruity, which can leads to secondary volar dislocation (20).…”
