Dupuytren's Contracture (Tight Cord in Palm of Hand)

With ‪@OrthoEvalPal‬ I show a patient with a Dupuytren's Contracture (Tight Cord in Palm of Hand). I will explain what it is, what it looks like and how to treat it conservatively. Dupuytren's contracture can creep up on you and become very disabling if not treated early.

This is exactly what happened to my hand. I've had it for 7 months Thank you very much for this informative video

[@marilynboykins3577]

Oh thanks a million Your heaven sent First time to your utube channel Such great information I was doing the excise with the video my hand feels so much better already I will do exactly as you say 2 or 3 times a day Wow God answers prayers Bless you

[@ChrisEkstedt]

THANK YOU!!!! This is very helpful unlike my Orthopedic surgeon who told me I couldn't do a thing about this (but added 'it hasn't been proven but" in regards to stretching) and his PA even told me that what you're showing me here wouldn't help. Needless to say they are in my rear view mirrow.

[@Reunion4ever]

Thank you so much ! I had no idea what this was on my hand but your exercises helped me immediately 🙏🏻😊.

I first saw this species in Cyprus

Thanks, it work ..we need lost & lots of video clips like this one, very helpful...again, thanks.

[@2partiesnotpreferred226]

Thanks for this video. I always just thought it was a callus, because I'm a carpenter. The fact it never goes away made me look for a solution.

Ty for 2 years I didn't know what was wrong it happen after I got out of the coma I don't really go to doctors that often me seeing this video definitely take some weight off my shoulders to go to a doctor and get it taken care of

[@lachlank.8270]

Good for you Dabs, hope you feel better

[@bipulray2294]

We love u sir ❤️❤️❤️ from india.. thousands of undergrads watch ur videos here

[@patriciacole8773]

Good to know this information is so helpful. I use an essential oil balm and rub my hands together up and down as though warming my hands. It’s helping.

[@carolgale2590]

Thanks for the info

[@carrieo102]

I fell fractured my L proximal humerus 5/29. Conservative treatment. Noticed the flexor tendon below ring finger is protruding and stiff like a rope. Exercise ball does nothing. Your video is a blessing. Stretching my ring finger back is killer am doing it w massage going towards wrist, I was massaging wrong going towards finger. Thanks so much for your video! I have hope now.

[@patriciacole8773]

I’ve been hearing to be gentle with it. Like massage and activities. Not pushing it hard.

[@tonigegar4164]

Thank you for this information. I just started noticing a hard painful lump in my palm about a week now, in my right hand. I figured it had something to do with a tendon, as it felt tight & getting large & quite painful to the touch ( like a bone growth ) I started massaging & pressing on the area three days ago, as the pain was disturbing my sleep, & realized that’s what I need to keep doing, as it reduced the lump & pain, & I’m able to sleep now. I will try soaking in warm Epson salt water as well. Thank you.

[@haipingwang7075]

Thanks Dr Paul, In have this pain from hitting golf balls every the other day. I am 53yrs old. I think the ages palm going to rebel against me now. I stopped hitting balls and will use your recommended massage to rest it!

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Best of luck Haiping!

[@mixmixture7049]

I have it and is painfull like hell. Hope get better soon😢

[@DonIsadick-mf3gv]

I have exact same thing, in exact same location, also with pain.

[@maryearll3359]

I had this from prolonged use of elbow crutches. The hand grip was just long enough to reach the spot - my ring and little fingers on both hands.

[@Kathy-kr1sv]

Thanks

[@OrthoEvalPal]

You are welcome!

[@selenabone1]

This is what I have. Great video! I'm going to use all the advice for helping it. Mine is in the early stages so I have no finger deformity, just the nodules forming on both my hands in the same section as the gentleman does. Thanks for making this video. I think it would be easier for someone else to massage the hand other then myself. I think I would baby it a bit if it started to hurt. LOL

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Thanks for the comment Selena!

My dupuytrens is from genetics, I've been using Epsom salts and massaging with an essential oil along with some exercises, it really helps with the inflammation.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@australianoutback]

Yeah my mum had it bad and I have it in my left hand now ... I'm 36yrs old... What does the operation do in the early stages ? Will it come back ?

My maternal Grandmother had it, so did my Mom, and now I do too.

[@ginabrnhrst5830]

Thank you for your instructional videos. This runs in my family. It comes down our genetic line. It's widely known as Vikings Disease.

[@DimitriTheBarbarian]

Hmm is this common in people of Scandinavian origin? What’s the origin of the name?

[@ginabrnhrst5830]

@@DimitriTheBarbarianDefinitely Scandinavian in origin. Traced back genetically thru DNA. Dubbed "Vikings Disease" because it is easier to remember than Dupuytren's Contracture, which are one and the same.

Hello Paul, thanks for the video. What'll be the difference between Dupuytren's Contracture and trigger finger?

[@drnoahjuvalhararihackableanima]

there's a video on the net on youtube that tells you; just enter your question in basic form my snuggly one!

Can you get this from typing?

[@MrCHEESEGOLO70]

My small finger is locked at 45 degrees and cannot be opened. I am waiting for surgery but have been told it may not become completly straight.

[@anubhayadav5241]

I have not been diagnosed with Dypuytrens syndrome but facing same issue. It is very painful. I tried magnesium supplements along with vitamin D and it works. I think one should try raking magnesium malate or glycinate as magnesium us a natural myscle relaxer. Also take Vitamin D separately as most of us are low on Vitamin D. Good luck. Let me know if magnesium works for you

[@patriciacole8773]

I read a comment said they rub magnesium oil into the palms.

[@juztina7346]

Why in other sources saya stretching may cause fastening of contracture

[@sylviakinnersley9577]

Ive had operations on both hands. One was more or less successful the other not so good as the tendon is still tight. Not sure if these exercises will help though as it is quite tight.

[@arpitanandy9995]

I have small brown spots on my palm that popped out yesterday suddenly. But there are no side effects at all. I don't know what they are or why i have these. please can you suggest me something!

[@robing7524]

I shattered my left wrist in 2021. After surgery and 10 months of painful occupational therapy, I’m doing better but not 100%. Tonight I noticed a hard lump on my mid-palm below the ring finger. Could the lack of total recovery of my hand/wrist be a factor in this? Thx!!

[@ThatOtherRaccoon]

I get this pain in my left palm after playing golf. It’s annoyingly painful

[@ninoubuitre1730]

Dommage, il n'y a pas de traduction en français ...

[@p-trobeats7734]

I have this😢😑🙄😌

[@patriciacesare4608]

Hi, Thank you for your informative video. The only question I have is how do you even get it? I have it but how did I get it? Also I have a similar lump in the bottom of my foot and that’s called something else. Are the two related? How do you know for sure what it is?

[@arnauddebaritault4120]

Wanted to know if regular massages and stretchings would help the knot (size of a pea) to eventually disappear ?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

I've actually had a few patients for other issues tell me they were able to stave off surgery by massaging and stretching it. Not everyone will respond that way but some have.

[@paulineirving9025]

Hi, I find your videos very useful and good explanations. Will I be able to see the thickened tendon and nodule changing in my hand as I do what you are showing without aggravating the issue?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Hi Pauline, the change will be so subtle that it will be hard to see. You shouldn't aggravate it if you stretch with a low load and long duration

[@meganrobb2665]

I think I have this It painful

[@l.faraday8767]

I had surgery to remove the problem. My hand works just fine. I did not need any physio afterwards and my surgeon was also a board certified plastic surgeon so you can’t even see the tiny scar.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

That is awesome! Good for you. They don't all turn out that way.

[@LuxuryZoneProductions]

Hopefully it don't spread now. Mine went to 3 other fingers 7 months after surgery

[@l.faraday8767]

@@LuxuryZoneProductions I’m sorry to hear that. I probably have a mild case.

[@lalhriata8760]

[@michellewilloby8448]

I have this in my left hand as of recently. Should I go to the Dr. now or wait for bending of finger?

[@l.faraday8767]

I would go before it starts to bend your finger.

[@pranieshar8242]

Hi, i am 27 and already have the nodule for few years. I am an active sports player, i want to know is it okay to play volleyball and go to gym? Whenever i hit the ball or do pushups I have little pain. It will be useful for me to know, thanks.

[@drnoahjuvalhararihackableanima]

just be mindful of stretching the part of issue and using that only gently. Volleyball would be fine. Gym is OK, but think about what parts of the hand you will use and what tendons are stretched and how....some people use gel gloves for weights I've heard...

[@mylesgray3470]

This is bizarre. I have the same exact condition in the same hand and I have the same first name as the patient.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Just met a girl with my daughter's same name and exact date of birth. day, month and year. They went to the same college. What a mess.

[@drnoahjuvalhararihackableanima]

@@OrthoEvalPal is this condition on the increase do you think??

[@OrthoEvalPal]

@@drnoahjuvalhararihackableanima I don’t think so. I think there is more information about it now and more recognition.

[@drnoahjuvalhararihackableanima]

​@@OrthoEvalPal ok, THANKS. I've just self diagnosed myself with this and I posit that I have gained it by playing guitar standing up without a strap, so holding the guitar and playing it at the same time, which I have been doing this last year a lot! And a month ago I noticed the lumps that were not there before. Have you heard it associated with guitarists? Do you think my theory likely?

Most often times it is hereditary

👍

[@australianoutback]

I replied to a comment but I wanna send aessage with a question. If it's genetic involved which it is I believe my mum's left hand her last 2 fingers are curled now. She operated on them way too late. I'm 36 and I've been a heavy labourer most my life I wonder if the operation would save the fingers curling ?

[@australianoutback]

I can open my hand normally but yeah I have 3 indents on my tendens

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Do these to help prevent the tightening kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH67YnyofZWqmKM

[@DOLsenior]

Mine has developed as a result of a finger injury which still isn't remedied. I have been going to OT for 4.5 months and it just seems to be getting worse, the finger and the palm.

[@sergiochavezlazo5362]

Its better now? I have a similar case

[@DOLsenior]

@@sergiochavezlazo5362 Actually I just canceled two upcoming appointments because the OT seems to be creating other issues with my hand. My pinky finger isn't working properly now, my middle finger doesn't bend completely and I'm experiencing tingling in my pinky and ring fingers. I am going to seek treatment elsewhere. I really think because of the Drs diagnosis almost a year ago, that I have not been given proper treatment. It's been almost a year since my initial injury and I'm in worse shape. I have photos documenting what's been going on. If you feel like OT isn't working I suggest you quit before it starts making matters worse.

[@sergiochavezlazo5362]

Have you rest all this time? I have readed that we should keep using our hands in this condition

[@DOLsenior]

@@sergiochavezlazo5362 I had casts on my finger for months. I also had a traction device so I hadn't been using the hand in a typical fashion. Since my last OT appointment I have been trying to use it and do exercises and massaging it ... the Dupuytren's seems to be smoothing out. This seems like a move toward healing. I'm also trying to flex and move my fingers so my grip strengthens. I kept asking for PT as well but was dismissed. The OT asked if Dupuytren's runs in my family. I have 6 sisters and 3 brothers, tons of aunts and uncles...no one has ever had it.
