Postoperative infections are uncommon after hand surgery. Infection can delay recovery and contribute to scarring and stiffness. Measures intended to reduce the risk of infection after hand surgery include hand washing, skin preparation, sterile technique, and prophylactic antibiotics. The role of prophylactic antibiotics for small, clean, elective hand surgery procedures lasting less than 2 hours is debated.
手部手术后的感染并不常见。感染会延迟恢复，并导致瘢痕形成和僵硬。旨在降低手部手术后感染风险的措施包括洗手、皮肤准备、无菌技术和预防性抗生素。对于持续时间少于2小时的小型、清洁的择期手部手术，预防性抗生素的作用存在争议。
