A 45-yeаr-оld аlcоhоlic mаle presents with fevers and right-hand pain. He cannot recall what happened but thinks he may have punched someone in the face in a bar fight two nights earlier. He has tried over-the-counter anti-inflammatory agents, but they have not helped decrease the pain. His temperature is 100.8°F, blood pressure is 132/88 mmHg, and pulse is 78/min. On physical exam, he has a skin break over his second phalanx-metacarpal region. He is holding his second finger in slight flexion. He has a sausage-shaped swelling of the finger, as well as flexor tendon sheath tenderness that extends the entire length of the tendon. His pain increases with passive motion of the finger.
