ABSTRACT
Although most hand infections can be eradicated by appropriate management with return to normal function, complications are frequently encountered. Common complications include stiffness, osteomyelitis, and large soft tissue defects that require complex wound management. Risk factors for hand infections include an immunocompromised host state, as is the case in patients with diabetes mellitus or human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS, as well as those on immunosuppressive medications for autoimmune disorders or following organ transplantation. Patients at risk for complications secondary to hand infections should be monitored closely during the treatment process so that complications may be identified and treated early.
