Abstract:
Dislocations of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb are rather uncommon as a result of the inherent stability of the interphalangeal joint. Irreducible dislocations of these joint are rare. The authors report a case of irreducible dislocation of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb with interposed palmar plate, and reduced by open reduction.
