Simultaneous dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joints in two digits: A case report

Abstract

Majority of proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint dislocations are dorsal dislocations but multıple PIP dislocations of the adjacent digits is very rare. This study presents a very rare case of a 82-year-old man who had two PIP dislocations in the same hand. He was successfully treated by closed reduction and he had no loss of function at final follow-up. Multiple PIP dislocations in the same hand are seen rarely, when treated properly, outcome is excellent even in elderly.

Ardışık iki el parmağında proksimal interfalangeal eklem çıkığı: Olgu sunumu

Öz

Proksimal interfalangeal (PIF) eklem çıkıklarının çoğu dorsal çıkıklar olmakla beraber ardışık parmaklarda nadiren gözlenmektedir. Bu çalışma 82 yaşında bir erkek hastanın aynı elindeki iki adet proksimal interfalangeal eklem çıktığını sunmaktadır. Hasta kapalı redüksiyon ile başarılı şekilde tedavi edilip son takiplerinde tamamen iyileşme gözlenmiştir. Çoklu PIF eklem çıkıkları aynı elde nadiren görülmekle beraber uygun tedavi edildikten sonra sonuçları oldukça iyidir.
