Dislocation of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb
Abstract:
A case of open dislocation of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb is presented. The anatomy of the injury is discussed as well as treatment options. In the 26-year-old male patient reported, hyperextension and rotation of the distal phalanx resulted in volar plate avulsion and ulnar displacement of the flexor pollicis longus. At operation the volar plate, which was blocking reduction, was repositioned through a dorsal incision as the flexor tendon was replaced in its correct position. Recovery has resulted.

Anatomical Movements
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist, metacarpophalangeal,...

Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...
