Abstract
AVMs in the hand are particularly challenging to treat owing to the need to preserve function of the myriad tissues and structural units that enable the many hand movements involved in activities of daily living. Even a partial loss of function may be disabling or poorly tolerated. The mainstays of treatment are embolisation, sclerotherapy, and surgical ligation/resection, all of which carry the potential for ischaemic injury to muscle and soft tissue. A holistic approach to management is desirable prior to selecting the appropriate management plan.
