Cold and White - Hypothenar Hammer Syndrome Abstract. Hypothenar hammer syndrome (HHS) is a condition caused by digital ischemia as a result of repeated trauma to the little finger. Routine diagnosis should include a detailed medical history and a physical examination including Allen's test. Imaging of vascular lesions can be done initially by acral plethysmography and duplex sonography, or directly in the context of angiography (gold standard). Early diagnosis enables effective therapeutic strategies and preventing permanent sequelae. The optimal treatment options are selected depending on the intensity of symptoms, ranging from conservative methods, secondary prevention, through a local thrombolysis up to operational measures.;
