Stable dislocations of PIP-joints should be treated by early motion. It is important to gain full extension from the very beginning of treatment. The anatomy and biomechanics as well as the use of a Stack button-hole splint is reported. 28 patients with 32 dislocations have been treated for two to four weeks with excellent results.
