ABSTRACT
The treatment of hand injuries is an important part of the daily practice of healthcare professionals in primary, secondary and tertiary care. The complex anatomy and the specific physical examination required may make it difficult for a healthcare professional to establish a proper diagnosis. Based on the literature and our personal experience in hand surgery, we will describe 10 practical tips. These 10 tips will contribute to the detection of small lesions in daily practice.

This report describes two incidental findings of aberrant branches of the radial digital nerves in the middle finger of a 52-year-old man who cut himself with a grinding machine, and in the index finger of a 45-year-old female who sustained a flexor sheath infection following a dog bite. In both patients, two equally sized radial digital nerves were found and both nerves originated from one common digital nerve.
