Abstract

Irreducible dislocation of great toe interphalangeal joint with incarcerated sesamoid is a rare condition, with only a few cases reported in literature. We describe two cases of dislocation of interphalangeal joint which were diagnosed by plain radiographs and three dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) and successfully treated with open reduction without excision of sesamoid through dorsal approach along with literature pertinent to this condition.
