Palmar dislocations of the long finger metacarpophalangeal joint are rare and often missed. This case highlights a hyperflexion injury leading to this specific dislocation, emphasizing its presentation, cause, and management.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint dislocations are uncommon, with palmar dislocations of the long finger being particularly rare.
  • These injuries can be easily overlooked during initial clinical assessment, potentially delaying appropriate treatment.

Observation:

  • A case of palmar dislocation of the long finger metacarpophalangeal joint is presented.
  • The injury resulted from a hyperflexion mechanism.

Findings:

  • The study details the clinical presentation of this rare injury.
  • The etiology, specifically hyperflexion, is discussed in relation to the observed dislocation.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of palmar MCP joint dislocations is crucial for timely diagnosis.
