Complete dislocation of a little finger metacarpal phalangeal joint treated by closed technique

Complete dorsal dislocation of the metacarpal phalangeal joint almost always requires an open reduction. This case report presents an unusual set of circumstances allowing a closed reduction to be performed. The metacarpal-phalangeal joint of the patients' little finger was reduced before the carpal-metacarpal joint, followed by placement of percutaneous Kirschner wires.
