stenosans (Snap finger) |
The snap finger, a frequent hand surgery disease, is based on damage
or blockage of the free gliding of the flexor in the guide canal.
These guiding canals, also called carpal tunnel, is supported from
the fold in the hollow of the hand by a band-like reinforcement which
intercepts the enormous forces arising while grabbing. On these ring
ligaments, lumps in the sinew can cause scarred constrictions of the
ligament or a thickening of the tissue to a temporary blocking of
the mobility of the flexor tendons that eases on further flexing.
The consequence: painful or painless snapping on stretching or bending
the finger, which can even stop any movement in the finger.
The treatment
A small operation under local anaesthesia where the ring ligament
is split and the damaged tissue is removed, lets you grab again. |
