DISLOCATIONS OF THE FIEST PHALANGES OF THE THUMBAND FINGERS (METACAEPO-PHALANGEAL). (a) Dislocations of the First Phalanx of the Thumb Backward. This bone may be dislocated backward or forward, but more frequentlythe dislocation is backward. I have met with the backward dislocationten times. [According to Farabeuf, the backward dislocation may be incomplete or com-plete. The first is caused by slight dorsal flexion of the phalanx, such as many Fig. 418. Incomplete dislocation of the thunib. (Farabeuf.) persons can voluntarily effect (Figs. 418 and 419); the second requires morecomplete dorsal flexion (Figs. 420 and 421). In the former the ligaments are not Fig 420. Fig. 421.
