case_images: Nonetheless, his radiography showed an interphalangeal dislocation thumb with Closed Central Slip avulsion of the index finger (Figure 2, Figure 3 (e)). The post-reduction X-rays obtained in the emergency room showed a restoration of articular congruity at both joints (Figure 3 (f)).

case_images: This is why; we adopted an orthopedic treatment with immobilization (Figure 4), and physiotherapy to restore passive extension and flexion of the proximal interphalangeal joint.
case_images: The clinical results were satisfactory after a mean of 6 months
