Br J Sports Med. 1984 Sep;18(3):217-9. doi: 10.1136/bjsm.18.3.217.

Abstract

Following simultaneous dorsal dislocation of both interphalangeal joints of a finger, attention must be paid to the risk of a long period of recovery because of the severity of the lesion. Approximately one year after such an accident to a footballer arthrodesis was performed on the proximal interphalangeal joint, as the patient was still suffering from constant pain in the finger.
