Surgery of diseases of the hand in the city of Zaporizhzhia
We always want to take life, work processes, everyday life into our own hands. But sometimes it happens that the hands lose not only the ability to keep everything under control, but also their own strength.
If you have the following symptoms that cause discomfort:
- Rubbing hands,
- crunching and snapping of fingers
they not only reduce the quality of life, but are also a sign of diseases that definitely require diagnosis by orthopedic specialists.
The Rudenko Clinic is a leading health care institution focused on the pathology of the musculoskeletal system, in particular on the treatment of diseases, microsurgery and reconstructive surgery of the hand and carpal joint.
When should you consult a doctor and what diseases most often affect the structures of the hand?
If you started to worry:
- aching pain in the carpal joint
- numbness of the fingers, cramps during small movements
- tingling of the ants in the brush
- gradual increase in flexion deformity of 4 and 5 fingers
- "walking" in the area of the carpal joint
- crunch in the joints of the fingers
- inability to fully extend or bend the hand
this means that it is time to seek help from a traumatologist at the Rudenko Medical Center to receive professional advice from a specialist and prevent possible complications of hand diseases. Seeking timely help from a doctor can prevent irreversible changes in joint structures and possible partial or complete loss of its functionality.
The most common conditions and diseases that tend to affect the hands are:
- de Quervain's disease
- Nott's disease
- Dupuytren's contracture
- ganglion, or hygroma, of the carpal joint
- consequences of sports injuries - tendon ruptures, post-traumatic contractures and tendinitis
- fractures of the radius in a typical location with displacement of fragments
De Quervain's disease
Or stenosing tendovaginitis is a chronic pathology of an inflammatory origin that progresses slowly. At the heart of the disease is an inflammatory process that provokes the thickening of the tendons of the thumb. In turn, stenosis of the fibrous canal develops and characteristic clinical manifestations of the disease appear - pain when clenching the fist, turning or grabbing something. The exact cause of the development of this condition is unknown, but modern medicine tends to consider it chronic microtraumatization of tissues with frequently repeated movements such as hand patterns when playing tennis, golf, or hand washing.
Also, symptoms that will bother you with the development of de Quervain's disease can be swelling and pain in the area of the base of the thumb. Symptomatic treatment can only temporarily relieve the inflammatory process, but radical treatment of de Quervain's disease is only possible with the help of hand surgery.
Nott's disease
Click click - you can hear such sounds when bending the fingers, if they are affected by Nott's disease or stenosing ligamentitis. In this case, the tendons of the flexors of the fingers are affected due to the development of a chronic inflammatory process. As with de Quervain's disease, Knott's disease is generally associated with occupational hazards or features of daily routine - work is associated with fine motor skills of the hands - holding screwdrivers, steering wheels, manicure tools, heavy physical work, or develops as a concomitant condition in the presence of another sources of inflammation in the body - arthritis, arthrosis. Treatment of this pathology is most effective with the help of hand microsurgery.
Dupuytren's contracture
Or palmar fibromatosis – a painless cicatricial remodeling of the tendons of the palm, which leads to their sharp shortening and tension. As a result, a characteristic deformation appears, mainly of the 4th and 5th fingers, and the formation of a tight-elastic nodule on the palm, which is often mistaken for a callus. A proven hereditary component in the development of contracture, the disease mainly affects men over 40 years of age, but traumatization and occupational hazards also have their influence. The progression of Dupuytren's disease leads to a significant limitation of the functionality of the hand and problems with sensitivity, which sharply reduces the quality of life of a person. Treatment is carried out at the stage of pronounced deformation of the fingers, exclusively with the help of surgical intervention.
Ganglion of the radiocarpal joint
Tendon ganglion is a painless soft formation in the area of the tendon sheath in the radiocarpal joint. The formation is benign, located mainly on the back of the wrist. In fact, the formation is a synovial cyst and is prone to recurrence. Clinically, it can be disturbing only as a cosmetic defect, or it can cause slight pain or discomfort in the area of location. Treatment of ganglion is only surgery of the hand.
Post-traumatic changes in the structures of the hand and carpal joint
Our hands always have an increased risk of getting into unpleasant traumatological situations, which do not always pass without a trace. Post-traumatic synovitis, tendinitis, vaginitis, or ligamentitis are all chronic inflammatory diseases of the connective tissue structures of the hand that develop after bruises, dislocations, and fractures. Disturbing symptoms after an injury may include chronic aching pain, limited movement in the arm, and loss of muscle strength. Most of these conditions are treated with medication, but in order to correctly differentiate them from pathologies that require surgical correction, it is necessary to consult a traumatologist.
Post-traumatic changes in the structures of the hand and carpal joint
Falling on a straight arm with an extended or fully bent hand carries a high risk of fractures in the radiocarpal joint. This typical injury, which is characteristic of people of any age and sex, brings significant discomfort due to damage to the peri-articular tissues and displacement of fragments. The peculiarities of the biomechanism of this type of fracture are caused by the frequent development of contractures during the rehabilitation period and significant limitation of the functionality of the hand, which is especially important for people whose professional direction is focused on the fine motor skills of the hands.
