Abstract:
Palmar dislocations of the long finger metacarpophalangeal joint are extremely rare and easily missed at the first clinical examination. We describe a palmar metacarpophalangeal dislocation of the long finger following a hyperflexion injury. The presentation, aetiology and treatment are discussed.
