- Consider digital block for pain control
Dorsal/Posterior
- Flex wrist, then hyperextend the joint
- Apply longitudinal traction followed by dorsal pressure to phalanx base
- Irreducible dislocation likely due to entrapment of avulsion fracture, profundus tendor or volar plate
- Without initial hyperextension, can be difficult to disengage from any trapped soft tissue
- Post reduction, look for central slip rupture, which may lead to Boutonniere deformity
Volar
- Flex wrist then hyperflex the affected joint
- Apply gentle traction then extend the joint
- Often need open reduction due to volar plate entrapment
