Complete dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint with complete rupture of both the collateral ligaments and volar plate was seen in 8 patients. We call this, "transverse bayonet dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint." When treated early, closed manipulation resulted in stable reduction. After a brief period of immobilization of 3 to 5 days with a dorsal aluminum splint, sustained active range of motion exercises were begun by strapping the injured finger to the adjacent finger obtaining good end results in all cases. An untreated dislocation of 5 weeks duration needed operative reduction. This was achieved with good result by release of all the retaining ligaments around the proximal interphalangeal joint including both the collateral ligaments, the volar plate, the transverse retinacular ligaments, and extensor tenolysis.
