Treatment of Neglected Proximal Interphalangeal Fracture Dislocation Using a Traction Device: A Case Report: Yongun Cho, Jai Hyung Park, Se Jin Park, Ingyu Lee, Eugene Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2019;32(4):222-226. Published online October 31, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2019.32.4.222

Abstract PDF: This paper reports the use of a traction device for the treatment of neglected proximal interphalangeal fracture dislocations. A 44-year-old man with a fracture dislocation of a right ring finger proximal interphalangeal joint was admitted 17 days after the injury. Closed reduction and external fixation were performed using a dynamic traction device and C-arm under a brachial plexus block. Passive range of motion exercise was started after two weeks postoperatively and active range of motion exercise was started after three weeks. The traction device was removed after five weeks. No infection occurred during the traction period. No subluxation or displacement was observed on the X-ray taken two months postoperatively. The active range of motion of the proximal interphalangeal joint was 90Â°. The patient was satisfied with the functional result of the treatment with the traction device. The dynamic traction device is an effective treatment for neglected fracture dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint of a finger.

Irreducible Open Dorsal Dislocation of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint: A Case Report: Youn Tae Roh, Il Jung Park, Hyoung Min Kim, Jae Young Lee, Sung Lim You, Youn Soo Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2015;28(1):65-70. Published online January 31, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2015.28.1.65

Abstract PDF: Dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint is a common injury in the orthopedic department. In most cases, the joint is reduced simply by closed manipulation. However, in rare cases, the joint is not reducible by closed manipulation, therefore, surgery is required. We report on a case of irreducible open dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint which was surgically treated. Because the flexor tendon interposed between the head of the proximal phalanx and the base of the middle phalanx, we could reduce the joint only after repositioning of the flexor tendon.

Irreducible Dislocation of the Interphalangeal Joint of the Great Toe with Lateral Collateral Ligament Entrapment: A Case Report: Duke Whan Chung, Bi O Jeong; J Korean Fract Soc 2009;22(2):110-113. Published online April 30, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2009.22.2.110

Dislocations of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe that are irreducible are very rare. Invagination of the plantar plate or the sesamoid bone into the IP joint, which prevents reduction. To our knowledge, however, dislocations of the IP joint of the great toe that were irreducible because of lateral collateral ligament entrapment, not invagination of the plantar plate or the sesamoid bone, have not been reported by any English literature. We report a 29-year-old ballet dancer who sustained an irreducible dislocation of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe owing to lateral collateral ligament entrapment.

Irreducible Dislocation of the Interphalangeal Joint of the Thumb: A Case Report: Phil Hyun Chung, Suk Kang, Chung Soo Hwang, Jong Pil Kim, Young Sung Kim, Kwang Uk An; J Korean Fract Soc 2008;21(2):165-168. Published online April 30, 2008; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2008.21.2.165

Abstract PDF: 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.

Simultaneous Dorsal Dislocation of Interphalangeal Joints in the Same Finger: Two Case Report: Hyun Seok Song, Suk Ku Han, Sung Jin Park, Won Sik Nam, Hyuk Jae Yang, Nam Yong Choi; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(3):388-391. Published online July 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.3.388

Abstract

We treated 2 cases of simultaneous dorsal dislocation of interphalangeal joints in the 5th finger. One case was injured by herperextension during basketball, and treated by open reduction and K-wire fixation. Another case was injured by industrial accident, and treated by splint for 1 week.
