Improved Hand Function with Palm Contracture Release
Improved range of motion and function in the hand
Palm contracture release is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the range of motion and function of the hand. This procedure is typically performed on patients who have a condition called Dupuytren’s contracture, which causes the tissue in the hand to thicken and contract, making it difficult to move the fingers. During the procedure, a surgeon will make an incision in the palm of the hand and carefully remove the thickened tissue that is causing the contracture. Once the tissue has been removed, the surgeon will carefully close the incision and the patient will be given time to recover and heal. After the procedure, patients can expect to experience improved range of motion and function in the affected hand, allowing them to perform everyday tasks with greater ease and comfort.
