Article Synopsis
- The report discusses a rare case of complex metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint dislocation, known as Kaplan's lesion, typically caused by hyperextension injuries and requiring surgical intervention for successful treatment.
- A 5-year-old boy with this injury underwent open reduction surgery using a volar approach, which was necessary due to complications that made closed reduction ineffective.
- Post-surgery, the patient was immobilized and achieved full range of motion and pain relief within four weeks, concluding that the volar approach is effective for managing complex MCP dislocations in children.
Isolated dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint is a rare phenomenon with few described cases in the literature for which the management is not well established. We report here a case of distal radioulnar joint dislocation - ulnar volar. The patient is a 58-year-old woman who fell on an extended upper extremity with forced supination.
