hi



What is the typical History behind dislocation of the finger?

Sport, Occupation

Post Trauma decrease in Stability

Finger Diislocation Examination?

Observation of length


Motion Palp/Ortho tests


Neurological/Vascular changes


Diagnostic Imaging

Treatment of Finger Dislocation - Early

Reduction


Immobilise- flexion splint -> Buddy tape


ROM Exercise - Important


PT - Anti Inflam: Nutrition(promote heal)





Treatment of Finger Dislocation - Down the track in the healing process?



Mobilise


X-Friction


Referral - If significant stability loss



Wrist Fractures-
