ABSTRACT Irreducible dislocation of interphalangeal joint is a rare condition with only a few case reports in literature. Here, we report a case with irreducible dislocation of interphalangeal joint due to sesamoid bone interposition, which required open reduction. A 45-year-old male had a fall from height with irreducible dislocation of interphalangeal joint of great toe. Intraoperatively, the interposition of sesamoid bone over the dorsal aspect of proximal phalanx was identified. Displaced volar plate with sesamoid bone was reduced into the position, and the joint was stabilized with k wire. On follow-up, we observed that the patient had no discomfort or pain for 6 months. The displacement of sesamoid bone with volar plate and intact collateral ligaments locks the joint in extension and obstructs the reduction of interphalangeal joint dislocation. One should have the suspicion of possibility of open reduction after observing the interposition of sesamoid bone over the dorsal aspect of the proximal phalanx. Dorsal approach is usually advocated; medial approach can be used if there is wound over the plantar aspect. How to cite this article Silvampatti S, Rajasekaran S.

Two cases of osteochondral lesions of the proximal phalanx of the great toe at the interphalangeal joint are presented. This condition is characterized by pain, swelling, and tenderness at the interphalangeal joint. The roentgenographic characteristics resemble osteochondritis dissecans. Curettage and bone grafting to the lesion is effective. These conditions in adolescent soccer players may be caused by chronic repetitive overloading of the interphalangeal joint using soccer shoes with soft, supple, and narrow toe boxes.

Epiphyseal fractures account for about one fifth of pediatric fractures. Approximately 10% cause major growth disturbances, depending on the location and type of the fracture and the skeletal maturity of the child. Intra-articular Salter-Harris type IV fractures are rare, carry a poor prognosis, and almost always need surgical reduction to prevent deformity. We present a case report of a pediatric patient who returned to normal function after the successful surgical reduction of a Salter-Harris type IV fracture in the proximal phalanx of the great toe.

We report a rare case of open dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint which needed operative reduction. A 39-year-old man injured his right middle finger while playing baseball. There was a laceration on the proximal interphalangeal crease, and the condyles of the proximal phalanx protruded through the wound. The flexor tendons had slipped behind the radial condyle, and made reduction impossible. After the flexor tendons and volar plate were replaced back into their normal position, the reduction was successful. Finally, the patient had full and painless motion of the digit. We review the reported cases of this injury in the relevant literature.
