Dorsal subluxation of the distal phalanx of the index finger seen on lateral view, in keeping with distal interphalangeal joint dislocation.
Case Discussion
Note that the dislocation is completely occult in the frontal radiograph. It is important for dislocations and fractures to be examined in at least 2 views.
Isolated dislocation affecting the distal interphalangeal joint is less common than proximal interphalangeal joint.
