title: [Late complications of infections and their treatment].
abstract: Operations to improve function after pyogenic infections of the hand and fingers should not be planned as long as a flare up of the infection is to be feared. There sould be no disturbance of circulation, no scars of skin or subcutaneous tissue and an adequate range of passive finger joint-movement. If there is little chance of restitution, one should not hesitate to amputate.
