Soft Tissue Injuries of the Finger and Thumb

Soft tissue digital injury of the hand is a common presenting complaint in the emergency setting. While initial work-up requires physical exam and radiographs, many of these entities may be radiographically occult and solely appreciated on ultrasound (US) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). If undiagnosed, these conditions may lead to sequela of untreated disease including early osteoarthritis, pain, permanent deformity, and immobility. Soft tissue finger injuries that may not be readily apparent without the use of MRI or US are discussed.
