Dislocation of the distal phalanx epiphysis in toddlers

Two cases of physeal fracture dislocation of the distal phalanx are reviewed. Each injury occurred in a toddler, was originally undiagnosed, and appeared years later as a dorsal mass in a foreshortened digit with decreased distal interphalangeal joint motion. In each case x-ray films revealed a disl...

description Two cases of physeal fracture dislocation of the distal phalanx are reviewed. Each injury occurred in a toddler, was originally undiagnosed, and appeared years later as a dorsal mass in a foreshortened digit with decreased distal interphalangeal joint motion. In each case x-ray films revealed a dislocated epiphysis, accounting for the enlarging dorsal prominence and the phalangeal growth disturbance. These cases demonstrate that dislocation of the distal phalanx epiphysis can occur with a crush injury and may be difficult to detect before development of the ossification center. Careful physical examination and a high index of suspicion will increase the likelihood of early diagnosis. Early open reduction may prevent the late complications of deformity and stiffness.
