Examination
Examination of the hand should be particularly thorough. It is vital to document with support from drawings and photos:
- active and passive range of movement
- signs of acute inflammation e.g. redness, pus
- areas of induration
- signs of regional and systemic spread e.g. lymphadenopathy
