Traumatic dislocation of the metacarphophalangeal joint is a rare injury. Complex dislocation often require surgical procedure due to its anatomical characteristics. We report one case of surgically treated traumatic dislocation of the 5th metacarpophalangeal joint that was successfully reduced by volar open reduction without splitting the volar plate.

Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 2004;31(3):418-421
Traumatic boutonniere deformity of the thumb is rare in non-rheumatoid patients. Non-rheumatoid patient develops a boutonniere deformity of the thumb following a closed injury to the dorsoradial aspect of the metacarpophalangeal joint. The patient had an extensor lag of the metacarpophalangeal joint and paradoxical hyperextension of the interphalangeal joint. The patient required surgical treatment which included advancement and reattachment of the extensor pollicis brevis insertion and imbrication of the dorsoradial capsule to restore the anatomical alignment of the extensor pollicis longus. Conservative care of the metacarpophalangeal joint may be effective, but once a boutonniere deformity is developed, surgical treatment is necessary.

4.Extensor Tendon Splitting Simplified Technique for Treating the Dislocation of the Index Metacarpophalangeal Joint: A Case Report
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1981;16(3):642-644
Dislocation of index metacarpophalangeal joint is complex and usually cannot be reduced by closed method. It is a relatively rare injury and there are no widely published studies on its management. We have experienced a case combined with osteochondral fracture of the dorsoulnar aspect of metacarpal head and reduced it using extensor tendon splitting simplified technique with good results. This technique is seemed te be simpler and safer than volar approach described by Kaplan.

PURPOSE: To describe the surgical treatment of the complex dorsal metacarpophalangeal dislocations and its results, emphasizing on the modified volar approach with A1 pulley release. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We experienced 6 cases of dorsal dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint. We performed open reduction with the modified volar approach described by Eaton and Dray. Postoperatively posteroanterior and lateral radiographs of the index finger metacarpophalangeal joint and metacarpophalangeal joint range of motion was followed. RESULTS: One case with a large osteochondral fracture was operated with volar and doral approach both. Overall end results were good without any significant restriction of motion and stability of the fingers. CONCLUSION: Modified volar approach with A1 pulley release is an excellent method for complex dorsal metacarpophalangeal dislocations without osteochondral fracture.

Journal of the Korean Society for Surgery of the Hand 2009;14(2):51-55
PURPOSE: We analyzed the results of treatment of dislocation of the extensor tendons over the metacarpophalangeal joints. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirteen patients who had received treatment for dislocation of the extensor tendons over the metacarpophalangeal joint were reviewed. Ten patients had traumatic dislocations, two had spontaneous dislocations, and one had congenital dislocation. The long finger was most frequently affected. The other fingers were affected almost equally. Displacement of the extensor tendon always occurred in the ulnar direction in the long and ring fingers. The index and little fingers exhibited different patterns of dislocation. RESULTS: Nonsurgical treatment was undertaken in two cases. Surgery was performed in 11 cases. No recurrent dislocations were reported in any of the patients. Conculsions: Based on our experience, patients seen within 2 weeks of injury initially should be treated with splinting of the involved metacarpophalangeal joint. Chronic dislocations should be treated with a primary repair of the defect in the sagittal band. When the sagittal band is absent or deficient, the tendon must be stabilized using a loop procedure with a tendon slip.

The dislocation of metacarpophalangeal joint of the index is apparently rare injury and produeed by striking of the volar surface of the outstretched index against a resistent object. This injury presents certain characteristics which make it distinctly different from dislocation of the thumb or little finger. The proximal phalanx is displaced over the dorsum of the corresponding metacarpal, the hand is deformed, and the index is inclined toward the middle finger. In 1957 Kaplan reported his study about the pathological anatomy and proper treatment technique in the dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the index finger. In this type of dislocation, closed reduction, even if performed immediately after the injury, is unsuccessful, and open reduction is mandatory. The authors have experienced a case of dorsal dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the index finger developed 3 weeks prior to admission on 20 th, May, 1985.

Dislocation of the metacapophalangeal joint of the finger is apparently rare except thumb. The mecchanism of injury seems to be direct injury that produces hyperextension of metacapophalangeal joints. In 1957, Kaplan advocated the triple incision, that is release of the volar fibrocartilaginous plate, the natatory ligament, and the superficial transverse metacapal ligament, expose the operation field through palmar approach. In 1975. Becton advocate direct dorsal longitudinal incision. The advantages of this approach as compared with the volar approach are 1. There is full exposure of the fibrocartilaginous volar plate, the main structure blocking reduction. 2. Digital nerves are not as apt to be damaged. 3. Accurate reduction and fixation of the osteochondral fracture of the metacarpal head is possible. We exprenced 6 cases of index metacarpophalangeal dislocation and treated with dorsal approach.

Dislocation of the extensor digitorum communis tendon at the level of metacarphophalangeal joint is frequently encountered in the hands of patients who have rheumatoid arthritis, but traumatic dislocation of the tendon is comparatively rare. When it occurs, it is usually in the middle finger. We are reporting two cases which had traumatic dislocations of the extenosor tendons of the index finger at themetacarphophalangeal joint and review related literature concerning clinical, anatomical, and biomechanical studies.

10.A study on the difference of the skeletal maturity in normal occlusion and malocclusion.
Korean Journal of Orthodontics 1990;20(1):111-122
To investigate the relationship of skeletal maturity among the normal occlusion group and each malocclusion groups, the author used hand and wrist X-ray of 133 Korean 13 year old boys (normal occlusion 30, Class I malocclusion 35, Class II malocclusion 35 and Class III malocclusion 33) and assessed their skeletal maturity. In this study, fourteen skeletal maturity stages were selected from; Radius, Hamate, Pisiform, Ulnar sesamoid of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the first thumb, proximal phalanges of the first, second and third finger, middle and distal phalanx of the third finger. The difference of skeletal maturity of each malocclusion groups in relative to normal occlusion group and that of each malocclusion groups were analyzed. The findings of this study can be summerized as follows: 1. Average skeletal maturity stage of each groups were MP3cap stage in normal occlusion group, H-2 stage in Class I malocclusion group, midstage between S and H-2 stage in Class II malocclusion group, MP3cap stage in Class III malocclusion group. 2. There was no significant difference in skeletal maturity of Class J malocclusion and Class III malocclusion groups in relative to normal occlusion group. 3. There was significant retardation of skeletal maturity in Class II malocclusion group in relative to normal occlusion group. 4. There was no significant difference in skeletal maturity between Class I and Class II malocclusion groups. 5. There was no significant difference in skeletal maturity between Class I and Class III malocclusion groups. 6. There was significant retardation of skeletal maturity in Class II malocclusion group in relative to Class III malocclusion group.
