So this person comes in
0:02
after having suffered a hyperextension
0:04
injury to the little finger.
0:06
So radiographs were performed with these three projections,
0:09
frontal, lateral, and oblique.
0:11
And now we have them magnified, focused on the finger
0:14
of interest that is the little finger or the fifth digit.
0:17
And so as we look at the little finger here, we can identify
0:21
that the metacarpal phalangeal joint is maintained.
0:24
However, the proximal interphalangeal joint
0:27
or the PIP articulation shows a bony fragment.
0:31
When we go to our lateral projection, we now identify
0:35
that this fragment is along the volar aspect.
0:38
There appears to be some combintion.
0:41
The proximal phx shows mild dorsal subluxation
0:46
with respect to the metacarpal head.
0:48
The remainder of the osseous structures appear intact.
0:51
The DIP or distal interphalangeal joint space is preserved,
0:55
and the frontal projection reveals no additional injuries.
0:59
And so this represents a volar plate injury.
