        @rifat Although imaging studies are not routinely necessary with paronychia, obtain a plain film radiograph of the fingertip if osteomyelitis is suspected because of recurrent infection, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), or presence of risk factors for osteomyelitis.

        A radiograph can also be obtained if a foreign body is suspected or the patient has a history of recent finger trauma.
