Incision and drainage of purulent fingeritis

There are many radial fibrous cords around the phalanx at the end of the fingers, and many small rooms are formed between the cords. When purulent finger inflammation occurs, the inflammatory edema in the small room continues to increase pressure. Not only does the compression of the nerve endings cause severe pain, it is even more serious that before the abscess is formed, the distal phalanx will be ischemic and necrotic, causing intractable Phalanx osteomyelitis. Therefore, drainage should be cut early.
