- Fracture Dislocations of the PIP Joint:
- distinguish between
avulsion chip frx from
frx dislocation of PIP joint;
- Chronic PIP Dorsal Dislocations:
- leads to chronic volar plate laxity and hyperextension deformity;
- may interfere with finger f(x) or result in
Swan Neck Deformity;
-
operative treatment:
- requires advancement and reattachment of volar plate;
- plication of local tissue;
