title: [Irreducible closed luxation of the distal interphalangeal joint. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Two irreducible dislocations of the distal digital interphalangeal joint have been seen by the author. One was dorsally displaced with interposition of the extensor tendon, and the other was a palmar displacement with interposition of the flexor tendon. Both cases were successfully treated by open reduction. A review of the literature confirms the rarity of this condition.
