What is Duputrens Contracture?
Dupuytren’s contracture is a hand condition characterized by the gradual thickening and tightening of the connective tissue under the skin of the palm and fingers. This fibrous tissue forms nodules and cords that can pull the affected fingers into a bent position, inhibiting their ability to fully straighten. Over time, this contracture can lead to a noticeable and often painful limitation of hand function. While the exact cause is not fully understood, factors like genetics, age, and certain medical conditions are believed to contribute to its development. Dupuytren’s contracture typically progresses slowly, and its impact can range from mild to severe, affecting daily activities and reducing hand dexterity. Early diagnosis and appropriate medical intervention are essential for managing the condition and preventing further finger contracture.
How Do We Treat Duputrens Contracture?
The treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture aims to alleviate hand deformities, restore function, and improve quality of life. Depending on the severity of the condition, several approaches can be considered:
- Nonsurgical Interventions: In early stages or mild cases, nonsurgical methods like hand exercises, physical therapy, and splinting can help maintain hand mobility and delay progression.
- Collagenase Injection: Collagenase is an enzyme injected into the contracted tissue to break down the cords causing the finger contracture, allowing the finger to straighten.
- Needle Aponeurotomy: This minimally invasive procedure involves using a needle to break the cords, releasing the contracture and improving finger extension.
- Surgical Release: For severe cases or when nonsurgical options are ineffective, surgical release involves removing or dividing the contracted tissue, allowing the finger to straighten.
- Physical Therapy: Physical therapists can design exercises to maintain or improve hand function and flexibility after nonsurgical or surgical treatments.
- Combination Therapy: In some cases, a combination of treatments may be recommended to achieve the best outcomes.
