title: The treatment of acute infections of the hand.
abstract: Acute infections of the hand are serious and frequently arise from a trivial wound which has been neglected or improperly treated. Accurate diagnosis, prompt institution of treatment, and early restoration of function are essential for successful treatment. Results in the treatment of acute infections of the hand are greatly improved by the rigid practice of a method of operation which recognizes fundamental surgical principles.
