Abstract
A relatively rare case of dorsal dislocation of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint associated with compression fracture of volar base of the distal phalanx is presented. An extension block pin was used to maintain the reduction of the DIP joint during active flexion and extension exercise after surgery. At 49-month follow-up, the clinical results and radiographic findings were satisfactory.
