A collagen disorder called Dupuytren’s Contracture causes the connective tissue (superficial palmar fascia) in the hand to become thickened, eventually pulling the fingers into a claw-like position. The ring finger is typically affected first however all other digits can be targeted often in sequential order. As this condition affects the position of the tendons and joints in the fingers, it can have serious consequences if not treated early.
There are different types of surgical procedures for the release of Dupuytren’s contracture depending on the locations of the thickened fascia that needs releasing. One common way to treat this condition is through a non-surgical treatment for Dupuytren’s Contracture that restores the palm’s natural function and appearance by removing and breaking down any undesirable tissues with a needle-like method or injections.
Dupuytren release surgery can be a big decision due to the side effects, which include pain, numbness, stiffness, weakness and wound healing in your hand. Recovery time depends on the severity of the condition, and the choice of surgery. Minimally invasive surgery recovery is 4 weeks and up to 12 weeks for more complex procedures.
Dupuytren’s contracture surgery is an intricate procedure that must be performed by an experienced hand surgeon due to the complex and fine anatomy of the hand and digits. I have helped many patients successfully regain the functionality and appearance of their hands through Dupuytren’s contracture surgery. After careful assessment of your hand and health history, we can discuss some options to achieve the best outcome for your circumstances so you can have your hands back at optimal capacity as quickly as possible.
