Vascular pathology in the hand may present to many different specialties, and delayed referral to hand specialists is not unusual. We provide an overview of vascular hand anatomy and pathophysiology to enable early diagnosis and treatment. We discuss general assessment of vascular hand pathology, including vascular anomalies, vascular injury, and Raynaud’s disease. It is important to understand the diagnosis and emergency surgical treatment of compartment syndrome of the upper limb which if unrecognized can lead to permanent loss of function from post-ischaemic fibrosis (and may be less anticipated than lower limb compartment syndrome).
