Simultaneous interphalangeal dislocation in one finger.

F M Watson

    The Journal of Trauma
    |January 1, 1983

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Simultaneous dislocation of both interphalangeal joints in a single finger is rare. This case in a volleyball player highlights hyperextension as the likely injury mechanism, with successful reduction and full motion recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Traumatology

    Background:

    • Finger joint injuries are common in athletes.
    • Simultaneous dislocations of multiple interphalangeal joints are exceptionally rare.
    • Volleyball players are susceptible to finger injuries due to ball impact and catching dynamics.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a volleyball player experiencing simultaneous dorsal dislocation of both the distal interphalangeal (DIP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints in a single finger.
    • The injury occurred during a volleyball game.
    • The mechanism of injury was attributed to a significant hyperextension force.

    Findings:

    • Successful reduction of both dislocations was achieved using longitudinal traction.
    • Full range of motion was regained after appropriate immobilization.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The hyperextension force likely caused initial DIP joint dislocation, with residual force leading to subsequent PIP joint dislocation.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of rare finger joint injuries in sports.
    • It underscores the importance of recognizing complex injury patterns beyond single joint dislocations.
    • Proper and timely management, including traction and immobilization, is crucial for optimal outcomes in such injuries.
