Abstract
Dislocation of the interphalangeal joint of a toe is a rare injury, and when it does occur it usually involves the great toe. Dislocation of other toes without fracture is quite rare. We present here a case of dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint which was reduced by manipulation.
