The Power of a Soccer Ball: A Traumatic Open Finger Dislocation—A Rare Case Presentation
Abstract
Proximal interphalangeal joint dislocations are injuries observed frequently and caused by axial loading on the finger in the extension. In this paper we present a traumatic open finger dislocation due to a ball hitting a wrestler. It was successfully treated with reduction and the volar plate and collateral bond fixation were applied with absorbable sutures.
