Abstract
Floating proximal phalangeal of a long finger with palmer displacement is an exceptional injury. This case report illustrates a 32-year-old male patient who suffered simultaneous bipolar palmer dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the left 3rd left finger due to traffic accident. We present the clinical manifestation, radiographic findings, and the outcome of our management. During the period of writing this case report, we didn’t find any exact similar study. For this reason, reporting and analyzing resembling cases will allow us to insight and compare ours finding. It seems that different factors seem to contribute to this condition, and it is generally diagnosed using X-rays. Further, closed reduction by external maneuvers is successful in the majority of the cases, but surgery may be necessary in instable or irreducible dislocations.
