Abstract

Approaches to history taking and specific evaluations for the hand were discussed, and examples of the assessments were provided. Diagnostic approaches to support physical findings were discussed, and methods of radiological assessment provided assistance to the audience in making appropriate diagnosis in relation to hand injuries. Management of bony hand injuries was discussed in Part II. In Part II, the authors also described the epidemiology, radiographs, and the management of hand lacerations, fingertip injuries, and fractures. In this article, Part III, the management of tendon, ligamentous, neurovascular, and other specific hand injuries, along with the management of selected chronic hand conditions, is discussed.
