Abstract

The hand, by virtue of its position in space, complex anatomical composition, and characteristic biomechanical properties, is subject to a host of disease processes and traumatic injuries. This article reviews the presentation, evaluation, treatment, and outcomes of treatment in hand infections, high-pressure injection injuries, Dupuytren disease, and arthritis.
