Article Abstract
Pediatric metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint dislocations are rare. Open MCP injuries are rarer. There are different surgical approaches to its treatment, and each approach has advantages and disadvantages. Debridement and open reduction should be performed urgently in the treatment. In our study, we will present the treatment and follow-up of a 15-year-old patient with an open index finger MCP joint dislocation. In conclusion, open MCP dislocations adversely affect hand function when their treatment is delayed, and complications can be avoided if full anatomical reduction and soft tissue reconstruction are performed quickly.
