title: Irreducible palmar dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint of a finger evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging: a case report.
abstract: The irreducible palmar dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) of a finger is rare and central slip rupture with the interposition of the lateral band in the PIPJ is extremely rare. In our present case, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enabled a very effective and detailed evaluation of soft tissue damage.
