We present a case of a thumb metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint dislocation complicated by the interposition of the sesamoid bones. This case highlights a clinical scenario referred to as the "locked thumb" syndrome, in which a first-digit MCP dislocation is complicated by an entrapped anatomical structure that hinders closed reduction. In this case, the thumb sesamoid bones became lodged at the base of the dislocated proximal phalanx. Due to this mechanical blockage, bedside closed reduction failed, and operative management was required.
我们报告一例拇指掌指关节(MCP)脱位并伴有籽骨嵌入的病例。该病例突出了一种被称为“锁定拇指”综合征的临床情况,即第一掌指关节脱位并伴有阻碍闭合复位的解剖结构嵌顿。在本病例中,拇指籽骨卡在脱位近端指骨的基部。由于这种机械性阻塞,床边闭合复位失败,需要进行手术治疗。
