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.

Keywords: Closed degloving injury; Distal interphalangeal joint; Irreducible palmar dislocation.
