  • Title: Complete dislocation of a little finger metacarpal phalangeal joint treated by closed technique.
    Author: Malerich MM, Eaton RG, Upton J.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1980 May; 20(5):424-5. PubMed ID: 7365860.
    Abstract:
    Complete dorsal dislocation of the metacarpal phalangeal joint almost always requires an open reduction. This case report presents an unusual set of circumstances allowing a closed reduction to be performed. The metacarpal-phalangeal joint of the patients' little finger was reduced before the carpal-metacarpal joint, followed by placement of percutaneous Kirschner wires.
