Abstract
Palmar fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint are uncommon injuries, which can be associated with long-term complications if sub-optimally treated. We report two cases of palmar fracture-dislocations of the PIP joint treated by open reduction and internal fixation using a single mini-fragment screw. The long term results of hand and finger function were excellent.
