Study Notes
Hand Anatomy and Infections
- The hand has five tendon zones, with Zone 1 being the most critical.
- The radial artery forms the deep palmar arch in the hand.
- The median nerve supplies all the muscles in the hand.
- The flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendons are found in Zone 2 of the Modified Verdan Zone System.
Hand Infections
- Parona's space infection is commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
- Paronychia can be caused by bacterial, fungal, or yeast infections.
- Tenosynovitis is an inflammation of the tendon sheath.
- Deep space infections in the hand can lead to complications such as osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and finger amputation.
- A cat bite to the hand can lead to infections such as cellulitis, abscess, or tenosynovitis.
Foot Infections
