Pediatric Complex Metacarpophalangeal Joint Dislocation of the Index Finger

Abstract

In addition to the classic volar and dorsal approaches, different techniques have been used to reduce complex dislocations in pediatric patients, including arthroscopic surgery, a percutaneous technique with manipulation of a skin hook, and a percutaneous technique with a dorsal incision. As demonstrated in this case, open reduction through the dorsal approach remains a viable treatment option for complex MCP joint dislocations in the pediatric population.
