Dupuytren’s Disease


A condition known as Dupuytren's Disease affects the skin and underlying tissue on the hand's palm side. Under the skin of the palm, thick tissue develops and may even reach the fingers, pushing them in toward the palm and limiting their range of motion. There is no known cure for this ailment, but there are effective ways, through surgery, to help your hand work better.

There are both surgical and non surgical options available for Dupuytren’s Disease. However, in non surgical option, there is a high risk of recurrence and a risk of nerve injury. The most effective available treatment for Dupuytren’s Disease is surgery. Since the nerves that supply the hand and fingers are frequently firmly tied up in the abnormal tissue, the procedure must be performed with extreme precision. The bands of thickened tissue will be divided and removed, releasing the tendons and improving finger mobility. In some situations, skin grafts are also required to replace skin that has become taut and puckered. Depending on how serious the problem was before the surgery, the outcomes may vary. Normal function improvement is to be anticipated, following physical treatment.

Procedure Details:

  • Expected Surgery Time: 2 hours
  • Done Under: General Anaesthesia
  • Hospitalisation: day
  • Supporting Garment: Plaster splint for one week and night time only for 3-6 months

Follow-Up Details:

  • Next Follow-up: 1 week after surgery
  • Return to light work: 2-3 weeks depending on the extent of surgery, kind of job, and need for skin graft
  • Physiotherapy: For 6 - 8 weeks post procedure

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome affects one of the main nerves, the median nerve, in the hand and tendons. Rheumatoid arthritis, injury, fluid retention during pregnancy, overuse, or repetitive motions may all cause pressure to accumulate within the tunnel. This results in Carpal tunnel syndrome where the hand function starts to diminish. There may be numbness and pain in the hand.

Congenital Hand Conditions

When a child is born with an extra finger, too few fingers, joint fingers or a trigger finger, the condition is known as a congenital deformity. Congenital hand conditions can impair hand function and interfere with proper hand development. The majority of abnormalities can be treated at a relatively young age using surgical procedures.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

The cubital tunnel is a tube made of muscle, bone, and ligament at the elbow. Ulnar nerve is a nerve that supplies the little and ring finger and can sometimes get compressed in this tunnel leading to sporadic numbness, tingling, and discomfort. This is known as cubital tunnel syndrome.
