This study presents a safe and effective dorsal surgical approach for complex metacarpophalangeal dislocations. The technique minimizes risks and allows for early patient mobilization, improving outcomes for hand injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Complex dorsal metacarpophalangeal (MCP) dislocations are challenging injuries.
  • Traditional surgical approaches may involve extensive dissection and carry risks to surrounding structures.

Observation:

  • A series of four consecutive complex dorsal MCP dislocations were treated.
  • A dorsal surgical approach was utilized, involving division of only the proximal extensor hood fibers.

Findings:

  • This minimally invasive exposure provides optimal visualization of the volar plate and osteochondral fractures.
  • The technique demonstrated safety and efficiency, with minimal risk to neurovascular structures.

Implications:

  • This approach facilitates early mobilization, potentially reducing scarring and adhesions.
