ABSTRACT
The proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) is a complex anatomical structure. In managing fracture dislocations about the PIPJ, the aim is to restore a congruent joint that allows for smooth gliding motion. Detailed knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics of the PIPJ is necessary in managing these injuries with predictable success. The breadth of techniques previously described in the treatment of such injuries is testament to the difficulties faced in achieving optimal clinical and radiological outcomes. In this article we detail the anatomy and biomechanics of the PIPJ and summarize current literature and principles for the treatment of dorsal fracture dislocations.
