It is a complication (sequela) of osteomyelitis. The pathological process is as follows: infection in the bone leads to an increase in intramedullary pressure due to inflammatory exudates; the periosteum becomes stripped from the ostium, leading to vascular thrombosis; bone necrosis follows due to lack of blood supply; sequestra are formed
Fractures of the fingers occur when the finger or hands hit a solid object. Fractures are most common at the base of the little finger (boxer's fracture). Nerve injuries occur as a result of trauma, compression or over-stretching. Nerves send impulses to the brain about sensation and also play an important role in finger movement.
It can develop after traumatic injuries, like car accidents, gunshot wounds, fractures, or intense sports. [24] [25] Examples include a severe crush injury or an open or closed fracture of an extremity. [25] Rarely, ACS can develop after a minor injury or another medical issue. [26] It can also affect the thigh, buttock, hand, abdomen, and foot.
