Outpatient management of flexor tenosynovitis: use of On-Q system to deliver constant antibiotic irrigation and pain control improves rehabilitation.

Background: Flexor tenosynovitis accounts for nearly 10% of all hand infections and, if untreated, can have devastating consequences. Late presentation often requires operative intervention that requires open drainage and irrigation of the flexor tendon sheath with prolonged rehabilitation.
