Thirteen cases of EDC tendon dislocation at the MP joint were treated and studied clinically. Nine after were treated conservatively by splinting, while 4 cases were treated operatively using Wheeidon's method.Six cases of subluxation of EDC healed rapidly after 2-3 weeks, but in 3 dislocation cases it was difficult to achieve optimal healing and the patients complained of disturbances in activity of daily living during treatment due to the splinting. On the other hand, 4 cases treated by surgery all healed.I believe that operative treatment is the first choice for dislocation of EDC tendon at the MP joint.
