[Closed injuries of finger bones in children]

Closed dislocations of finger bones is a rare injury in children. Most often complications are localized in the metacarpophalangeal articulation of the first finger. The main method of treatment of fresh dislocations is a one-step closed hand reposition. In case of its failure an open setting of the dislocation should be performed along with liquidation of the cause of interposition. The method of choice of treatment of neglected dislocations of fingers in children is the application of a compression-distraction apparatus.
