    Citation Excerpt :

    Irreducible dislocations need open reduction with or without Kirschner fixation [14,15]. The reasons for irreducible dislocations are buttonhole tear through the volar plate, flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) entrapment behind middle phalanx condyle, volar plate avulsion and interposition into the DIP joint, middle phalanx entrapment into a longitudinal split of FDP tendon [5,13]. Open dislocations of the DIP joint are rare.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Nevertheless, there are several reports of dorsal dislocation of the DIP joint.1,2,4–10 However, this injury in which the distal end of the middle phalanx became entrapped in a longitudinal split in the FDP tendon is extremely rare, and, to our knowledge, has only been reported once.4 We encountered a case demonstrating this rare pattern.
