Multiple Open Dislocations of the Lesser Interphalangeal Joints A Case Report .

We report on the rare case of multiple open interphalangeal dislocations. This uncommon pathologic condition results from dorsiflexion and axial loading of the digit. In the present patient, closed reduction was not possible. We review the literature on this pathologic condition and present a case of open irreducible dislocation of the lesser interphalangeal joints complicated by peripheral neuropathy and treated with resectional arthroplasty.
