Abstract

The diagnosis and treatment of common hand infections are reviewed. A practical approach to the treatment of these conditions is detailed. This approach emphasizes the anatomic compartments of the hand, the microbiology of infecting organisms, and the patient conditions which modify treatment. Prompt and accurate diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation are key for optimal outcome.
