Dupuytren’s Contracture: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Dupuytren’s Contracture is a progressive hand condition where the tissue beneath the skin of the palm thickens and tightens, causing the fingers to bend inward toward the palm. This condition primarily affects the ring and little fingers, making it difficult to straighten them fully. Over time, it can lead to reduced hand function and difficulty performing daily tasks.
At Dr. Anubhav Gupta’s practice, we focus on early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and restoring hand mobility to improve quality of life.
A thorough physical exam and functional assessment help determine the severity of the condition.
In early stages, we may recommend splinting, hand therapy, enzyme injections (collagenase), or steroid injections to slow progression.
✔ Minimally Invasive Treatments – Techniques like needle aponeurotomy (percutaneous release) help break the thickened tissue and improve finger extension.
In severe cases, fasciectomy (removal of thickened tissue) is performed to restore normal finger movement.
A structured hand therapy program ensures better mobility and prevents recurrence.
You should seek medical attention if you notice:
