contraction |
In the dupuytren syndrome, named after a French Surgeon, a kind of
tissue hardening causes the sinews in the hand "to get stuck", which
can slowly cause permanent bending of one or more fingers. The sinews
are fully healthy, even if the sinewy strands in the hollow of the
hand claim to be otherwise. The ailment appears in phases. The dupuytren
contraction occurs often in North Europe, astonishingly, men are likely
to suffer from it 9 times more than women. Statistics show that in
Germany, every 5th man over 60 years or more shows signs of this syndrome.
The treatment
When the bent fingers become obstructive, microsurgery is recommended
under local anaesthesia to be able to grab again correctly. It is
not advisable to wait too long for the operation, otherwise in the
worst cases, additional operations might be needed. The measure of
everything here: If the distance between finger nail and the table
top of the hand resting on its back is more than approx. 5 - 6 cm,
an operation is necessary. The operation is carried out under local
or general anaesthesia. The actual cut to remove the altered tissue
as fully as possible generally depends on individual requirement and
on the disease sDays. |
