Metatarsophalangeal joint dislocations of lesser toes are often seen in the setting of severe claw toes. Traumatic irreducible dislocations have been reported in rare cases following both low-energy and high-energy injuries to the forefoot. In this case report, I present a previously unreported association of a metatarsal shaft fracture with metatarsophalangeal joint dislocation of a lesser toe.

Thumb Metacarpophalangeal Joint

Metacarpo-phalangeal (MCP) joint dislocation is a rare occurrence which commonly involves index and little finger. Thumb MCP joint dislocation is a pretty rare pathology. MCP joint dislocations are classified into dorsal or volar types. They are further categorized as incomplete, simple complete and complex complete. Complex complete MCP joint dislocation requires surgical reduction most of the times because of tissue entrapment in joint. In the present case report, a case of two and a half months old complex complete thumb MCP joint dislocation left in 18-year old male encountered which was irreducible by closed means and required surgical intervention. Dorsal hand surgical approach was utilized for reduction of dislocation. This unusual, difficult and rare case of two and a half months old complex complete dorsal dislocation of the thumb MCP joint is presented in this case report.

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations account for about 9% of shoulder injuries. Among them, acute high-grade injury following high-energy trauma accounts for a large proportion of patients requiring surgical treatment. However, there is no gold standard procedure for operative treatment of acute high-grade AC joint injury, and several different procedures have been used for this purpose in clinical practice. This review article summarizes the most recent and relevant surgical options for acute high-grade AC joint dislocation patients and the outcomes of each treatment type.

Rare Diagnosis

This case report presents the unusual complication of bilateral temporomandibular joint dislocation following bronchoscopy, highlighting the importance of recognising it as a differential diagnosis in patients having jaw symptoms. The delayed diagnosis in this case resulted in multiple unsuccessful reduction attempts under sedation, which added to the distress of the patient. Notably, the procedure yielded a rare diagnosis for the patient that intrinsically changed the management of her breast cancer.

Excellent Functional Outcome

A rare case of medial subtalar dislocation is presented and the literature concerning this injury is reviewed. Subtalar joint dislocations are rare and often the result of a high-energy trauma. These talar dislocations represent 1%-2% of all dislocations. A case of uncomplicated medial subtalar joint dislocation managed by closed reduction under anaesthesia with excellent functional outcome is presented. In cases of open subtalar joint dislocation immediate reduction, wound debridement and if necessary (external) stabilization is critical. Up to fifty percent of patients suffering complicated injury are at risk of developing complications such as avascular necrosis of the talus. Other long-term sequelae include osteochondral fracture and subtalar joint instability.

Sternoclavicular Dislocation

ABSTRACTThe sternoclavicular joint is the most frequently mobilized non-axial, major joint, but is the least frequently dislocated. Most sternoclavicular dislocations are anterior. When posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocations do occur, they may present with a variety of signs and symptoms, including serious intrathoracic injuries. We discuss the case of a patient with a subacute posterior sternoclavicular dislocation who presented to the emergency department 2 months after being hit in the posterior neck. We also review the signs, symptoms and management of posterior sternoclavicular dislocation and the literature on this topic.

Introduction: Unstable dislocations of the bilateral glenohumeral joint with fractures of both greater tuberosities are very rare.Case presentation: A 48-year-old gentleman sustained a bilateral anterior dislocation of his glenohumeral joint with fractures of the greater tuberosities on both sides after an episode of seizure. Attitude of both shoulders were abducted and externally rotated. Radiological examination revealed the dislocations of bilateral glenohumeral joint and also the fractures of the bilateral greater tuberosities. Closed reduction and shoulder derotation immobilizer was applied. The Reduction was unstable and needed fixation of both sides greater tuberosity with cannulated cancellous screws. The shoulders were immobilized for 3 weeks and subsequent rehabilitation yielded a good outcome. Results at 6 months follow-up were satisfactory with normal range of motion and no redislocations occurring. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of bilateral unstable glenohumeral joint dislocation associated with fractures of both greater tuberosities in a middle aged man which was unstable needing fixation of greater tuberosities fractures.Conclusion: Bilateral glenohumeral joint dislocations with bilateral fractures of the greater tuberosities may be unstable needing fixation of greater tuberosity fracture.Health Renaissance 2015;13(2): 173-177

Little Finger

Dislocations of the ulnar carpometacarpal joint are easily missed because of a low index of suspicion as well as their subtle clinical and radiological features. Often, the presence of a more obvious adjacent injury also draws attention away from the carpometacarpal joint. Two cases of ring finger metacarpal shaft fractures with associated little finger carpometacarpal joint dislocations are presented. In both cases, the metacarpal fractures were diagnosed but the carpometacarpal joint dislocations were initially overlooked. The presence of an apparently isolated ring finger metacarpal fracture due to an indirect force should raise the possibility of an associated carpometacarpal joint injury.

A case of dislocated first and second metatarsophalangeal joints was reported along with the mechanics and mechanism of injury. The practitioner must be familiar with the mechanism of injury and radiographic classification to determine the proper indications for closed versus open reduction. The authors' review of the literature did not reveal a similar case involving a dislocation of the first and second metatarsophalangeal joints.

Abstract Background: Simultaneous palmar dislocation of scaphoid and lunate is a rare condition generally resulting from high-energy trauma and usually classified into two types. The literature has only reported nine patients with palmar divergent dislocation of scaphoid and lunate. Here we we present a case of accompanied ipsilateral humeroradial joint dislocation and open humeral shaft fracture caused by the same violence travelling from the wrist. Considering the emerging cases with their own characteristics, we suggest this severer injury be expanded into the third type of palmar dislocation of scaphoid and lunate. Case presentation: A 31-year-old male who fell from a three-storey building, with his right wrist directly hitting the ground, was admitted to the orthopaedic department of our hospital. Physical and radiographic examinations defined simultaneous palmar divergent dislocations of scaphoid and lunate concurrent with ipsilateral humeroradial joint dislocation and open humeral shaft fracture. After debridement and internal fixation for humerus and close reduction for humeroradial joint, the scaphoid and lunate were treated with open reduction and fixation by Kirschner’s wires, and the palmar scapholunate ligament and anterior capsule were repaired through volar approach. After a 3-year follow-up, his humeral fracture healed without recurrent dislocations, collapse or avascular necrosis of scapholunate. Favorable hand function regained . Conclusions: Palmar divergent dislocation of scaphoid and lunate caused by considerable violence is rare and appropriate to urgent open reduction and fixation with Kirschner’s wires and repair of the stronger palmar scapholunate ligament through single volar approach. When the residual violence continues to transmit to the upper extremity, ipsilateral dislocation or fracture may occur. We advise that this complex injury be classified into a third subtype of simultaneous palmar dislocation of scaphoid and lunate to avoid misdiagnosis.
