| Abstract: | Volar dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the finger is a rare injury. Two cases of an isolated volar dislocation of the ring finger metacarpophalangeal joint are reported. The dislocation was treated successfully by closed reduction shortly after injury in both cases. Closed reduction should be attempted in all cases of this injury because successful reduction may be possible. |
