title: Irreducible Palmar Dislocation of the Distal Interphalangeal Joint Due to Closed Degloving of the Distal Phalanx of the Little Finger.
abstract: Since irreducible dislocation of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP joint) is dorsal dislocation, irreducible palmar dislocation of the DIP Joint is very rare. This case was associated with a closed degloving injury of the distal phalanx of the little finger and required operative treatment.
