[Results of early intervention in acute finger infections].
In the examination of 66 patients treated for acute felons, we classified the infections of fingers as (1.) cutaneous/subcutaneous felons; (2.) paronychia/subungual felons, (3.) thecal whitlow; (4.) articular/bony felons. Primarily, the therapy was based on early aggressive surgical treatment, and secondly on antibiotics. With the management described we achieved a good to very good result in 76%.
