โฆ Synopsis
Dislocation of the interphalangeal joint of a toe is a rare injury, and when it does occur it usually involves the great toe. Dislocation of other toes without fracture is quite rare. We present here a case of dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint which was reduced by manipulation. gers), the phalanx itself is short, and we usually have our shoes on, so the chance that only one PIP joint would be stretched is extremely rare.
The mechanism of this injury was a hyperextension force that was exerted on the PIP joint, the PIP joint is sta-

The extensor tendons of the fingers and toes form part of the capsule of the interphalangeal joint and press against the proximal phalanx during flexion. Previous work on the fingers has shown that there is a ''sesamoid'' fibrocartilage on the deep surface of each tendon that labels immunohistochemi
We report 3 cases of dorsal dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint treated by closed reduction. Associated dislocation of the sesamoid complex may make reduction difficult. We suggest a modification of Jahss's classification and have confirmed our findings in amputation specimens. ## R~
