Abstract:
We present a case of chronic, recurrent dislocation of the distal interphalangeal joint of the little finger after traumatic dislocation. Intraoperative findings showed complete avulsion of the volar plate from the base of the distal phalanx and laxity of the ulnar collateral ligament. The volar plate was reattached by the suture anchor technique and reinforced by the ulnar half of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon.
