Abstract:
We report two cases of isolated metacarpophalangeal joint subluxation in rheumatoid patients with dorsal osteochondral defects on the base of the proximal phalanx. These were treated by open reduction, autologous osteochondral grafting and synovectomy. Stable reduction was maintained and appeared to delay the deterioration of the joint.
