Simultaneous double interphalangeal dislocation on a single finger

The authors report a rare case of the simultaneous double interphalangeal dislocation in the little finger of the left hand. A 35-year-old man, playing football as a goalkeeper, was injured when another player trod on his little finger. The dislocation was reduced by traction without anesthesia and the finger was immobilized on a splint. Although the patient removed the splint only a week later and failed to come for a check-up, at 1 year, his little finger showed no deformity and regained a full range of painless, active motion.
