Irreducible Palmar Dislocation of the Distal Interphalangeal Joint Due to Closed Degloving of the Distal Phalanx of the Little Finger

Abstract

Since irreducible dislocation of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP joint) is dorsal dislocation, irreducible palmar dislocation of the DIP Joint is very rare. This case was associated with a closed degloving injury of the distal phalanx of the little finger and required operative treatment.
