What causes contractions of the hand?
Patient: Hi my husband has a hereditary disease of which causes contractures of the hands (specifically, his left hand)something to do with cords , I have forgotten the actual name for this, my question is: Is there a hand surgeon in OKC,OK that can correct this and that is opened after hours or on Saturdays? Doctor: hi,thank you for providing the brief history of your husband.As he is been going through the contractures of the hand, a thorough clinical examination is advised.As most of the contractures are clinically assessed and then it may be a capsular or muscular. Based on the clinical assessment the further management can be planned.Usually in my clinical practice most contractures recover well with physical therapy like - therapeutic ultrasound therapy, wax therapy, hydrotherapy, stretching, myofascial release etc.Based on the examination what treatment of choice is needed will be planned. Also, surgery is the last line of action.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
