common injury in ball sports - a posterior dislocation of one or more phalanges may result from direct impact of the ball.
if the injury is treated promptly then analgesia is not necessary for reduction of the injury. If there is delay then a digital ring block can be inserted before reduction of the dislocation.
if there is a fracture dislocation then generally it is necessary to undertake open reduction and internal fixation.
