Panaritium Articular

Joint felon refers to diseases affecting the hand area. Panaritium is usually the result of trauma, but can also develop without an obvious traumatic factor. One of the main signs of felon joint is inflammation of the articular fascia, which provides the connection between the base of the finger and its adjacent area. Various methods are used to treat felon, including surgery, antibiotic therapy and physical therapy. In this article we will look at the causes, symptoms and treatment of articular panaritium.

1. The essence of the disease

Panaritium is an inflammatory disease of the periungual area, in which an abscess forms. According to the form of the inflammatory process, subcutaneous, subungual, cutaneous and bone felons are distinguished. Of all the listed types of panaritium, the most common is panaritium (articular) of the upper limb, which is localized in the bone tissue, and the inflammation process involves the entire hand as a whole.

2. Etiology of the disease

The main source of joint development is infection. The causes of panaritius of the upper extremities are: puncture or incised wounds of the hands, inflammatory processes in the fingers, which contribute to the penetration of infection into the bone, and then purulent inflammation develops. Here are some factors that can affect the development of panaritium: * microtraumas, * bruises or wounds on the fingers, * local infection of the skin, subcutaneous tissue or bones of the fingers and nail plates.
