Closed treatment of a single closed metacarpophalangeal (MCP) dislocation involves the manipulation of the dislocated joint back into its proper anatomical position without the need for surgical intervention. This typically includes a series of gentle traction and rotational maneuvers to realign the displaced bones while ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding soft tissues. Post-manipulation, the joint is often immobilized with a splint to allow for proper healing and to prevent recurrence of dislocation. Follow-up evaluations are essential to monitor for complications and to assess joint function.
