Arch Orthop Trauma Surg. 2009 Oct;129(10):1387-90. doi: 10.1007/s00402-009-0831-y. Epub 2009 Feb 14.

Abstract

Isolated traumatic dislocation of the distal and proximal interphalangeal joints of the fingers is a common occurrence. However, simultaneous dislocation of both interphalangeal joints in a single finger appears to be a rare event. We report five cases of simultaneous dislocation of both interphalangeal joints in a single finger with a review of the literature.
