An irreducible closed dorsal dislocation of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint of the finger is a rare injury, often caused by factors such as the interposition of the volar plate, entrapment of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon behind the head of the middle phalanx, or the buttonholing of the middle phalanx head through the volar plate or flexor tendon. This case report presents a rare instance of FDP avulsion combined with dorsal dislocation of the DIP joint in a 42-year-old male who sustained trauma to his right middle finger during a workplace accident. Clinical examination and imaging confirmed FDP avulsion along with dorsal dislocation of the DIP joint.

This case report aims to validate its safety and report the outcomes in a young patient. The findings demonstrate that the FNS possesses excellent biomechanical properties and provides significantly greater overall construct stability bearing in mind, that it was used in a Pauwels Classification Grade 3 ICNF fracture.

Bony erosion associated with glomus tumors is a rare phenomenon. Here, we present a unique case of a glomus tumor situated on the ventromedial aspect of the little finger, leading to notable bony erosion.

Large amorphous calcific concentrations that surround the joints are the defining feature. These lesions have fibrous septa that divide them into lobules and may often show fluid/calcium levels (milk of calcium/suspended hydroxyapatite crystals).
