Most serious hand infections are preventable at this time if proper prophylaxis is maintained with regard to the hands and if the precursor conditions-mild inflammations and infections-are quickly and appropriately treated. In those few serious hand infections that still occur, a judicious combination of medical, surgical, and rehabilitative measures should preserve normal or at least reasonable function in practically all instances.
目前，如果对手部进行适当的预防措施，并且对前驱病症——轻度炎症和感染——进行快速且恰当的治疗，大多数严重的手部感染是可以预防的。在仍然发生的少数严重手部感染病例中，医疗、手术和康复措施的明智结合实际上在所有情况下都应能保留正常或至少合理的功能。
