Proximal interphalangeal joint fracture dislocations are complex injuries. Treatment outcomes for both dorsal and volar types can be unpredictable, impacting athletes and non-athletes alike.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint fracture dislocations are challenging injuries.
  • Dorsal PIP fracture dislocations are common, while volar types are rare.
  • Unstable injuries can lead to significant functional deficits and long-term joint issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the complexity and treatment outcomes of PIP joint fracture dislocations.
  • To differentiate between dorsal and volar fracture dislocation presentations.
  • To highlight the potential complications and unpredictable results of treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of surgical procedures for PIP joint fracture dislocations.
  • Analysis of common and rare PIP joint injury types.

  • Discussion of treatment strategies including ORIF, pinning, and arthroplasty.

    • Main Results:

    • Dorsal fracture dislocations have multiple surgical treatment options.
    • Volar fracture dislocations are typically managed with reduction and internal fixation.
    • Outcomes for both dorsal and volar PIP fracture dislocations can be variable.

    Conclusions:

    • PIP joint fracture dislocations require careful management due to potential for poor outcomes.
    • Treatment success for these injuries can be unpredictable.
    • Further research may be needed to optimize management strategies for athletes and the general population.
