Sep 30, 2022 · There is one interphalangeal joint in the thumb (IPjt). The thumb metacarpal joint (1 st MCPjt) is the joint between the thumb bone and the hand bone. A dislocation of these joints is when there is an abnormal separation of the two gliding surfaces.
Finger Sprains And Dislocations - OrthoPaedia
The majority of thumb and phalangeal dislocations are dorsal, and the finger or thumb will appear hyper-extended at the affected joint. Puckering of skin around the joint suggests that soft tissue may be interposed within the joint. A dorsal dislocation of the PIP joint can tear the volar plate or cause an avulsion fracture of the middle phalanx.

Management of proximal interphalangeal joint injuries - PMC
Volar dislocations are the least common, are often most difficult to reduce and carry a poorer prognosis. Compound dislocations may require open reduction, because either one or both condyles can be caught between the flexor tendons and the flexor tendon sheath. The reduction is usually carried out under digital block anesthesia.
