John Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine Manual, 8e AB - Drainage of pus, immobilization, elevation, and antibiotics are the mainstays of treatment for many conditions of the hand. This helps to decrease inflammation, avoid secondary injury, and prevent extension of any infection. Optimal splinting is in the position of function: wrist in 15° to 30° extension, metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints in 50° to 90° flexion, and the interphalangeal joints in 10° to 15° flexion.
