AI-powered finger dislocation review for PIP, DIP, and MCP joint alignment, small avulsion fractures, reduction checks, and persistent subluxation on X-ray.
Finger dislocations happen when the joint surfaces lose normal contact. The PIP joint is especially vulnerable during ball sports and falls. X-rays before and after reduction help show the direction of dislocation, whether the joint is back in place, and whether a small avulsion fracture or volar plate injury is present. Persistent subluxation can signal an unstable injury that needs specialist review.
A finger can look straighter after reduction while still being slightly subluxed or associated with an avulsion fracture. Post-reduction views confirm alignment and help identify fragments that may affect splinting, early motion, or surgical referral.
Yes. The X-ray mainly shows bone and alignment. Collateral ligaments, the volar plate, central slip, and flexor tendons can be injured during the same event. MRI or ultrasound may be considered when motion, stability, or tendon function does not match the X-ray appearance.
A patient-friendly guide to hand and finger X-rays, including alignment, phalanx fractures, metacarpal fractures, arthritis, and avulsion fragments.
Learn how X-rays and MRI help separate a jammed finger from a fracture, dislocation, volar plate injury, or tendon injury.
