(A) This child dislocated the MCP joint of his thumb as a result of hyperextension force while falling on an outstretched hand. Gentle traction along with a good analgesic was used to put it back in place. MCP joint dislocation is sometimes seen in pediatrics, thumb MCP dislocation being the most common type. (B) A single anteroposterior view in a different child shows left thumb MCP joint dislocation. There are no fractures identified.
