Conclusions: Hand infections are a common problem in the pediatric population. Cases tend to be associated with accidental trauma and discrete abscesses colonized by MSSA/MRSA. The vast majority of cases require only one operation and a short course of wound care before discharge. Level of Evidence: Level IV—therapeutic study.
