AB  - Hand  injuries  are  one  of  the  more  common  reasons  for  emergency  department  (ED)  visits.  Hand  injuries  may  be  isolated  or  part  of  multiple  trauma.  These  injuries  are  seldom  life  threatening  but  can  result  in  significant  disability,  threatening  a  patient’s  livelihood  and  lifestyle.  These  injuries  can  have  significant  economic  impact  with  possible  loss  of  occupation  and  lost  time  from  work.  Systematic  examination  and  initial  care  has  a  direct  effect  on  the  ultimate  consequence  of  any  hand  injury.  Overall,  it  is  far  better  to  undertreat  and  refer  than  to  overtreat  and  cause  avoidable  iatrogenic  injury  or  disability.  The  course  of  recovery  depends  on  initial  management.
