Abstract :
Neglected irreducible dislocation of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint due to low energy trauma is a rare traumatic condition and only 6–7 cases have been reported in literature worldwide. Herein, we present a case of chronic dislocation of the DIP joint which got neglected due to lockdown precipitated by COVID-19. It was caused by low energy trauma of slip and fall from stairs.
