  • Title: Irreducible open dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint.
    Author: Takami H, Takahashi S, Ando M.
    Journal: Arch Orthop Trauma Surg; 2001; 121(4):232-3. PubMed ID: 11317688.
    Abstract:
    Dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint rarely present a problem in reduction. We report a case of dorsal dislocation in which attempts at reduction by manipulation were not successful. A probable mechanism is discussed. In most cases of such injury, the flexor tendons should be elevated by a probe to allow replacement of the head of the proximal phalanx.
