The fingers are put in bending and cannot rectify itself.
Diagnosis :
The clinical examination. No examination is necessary.
We measure the number of degrees of deficit of extension
of the finger.
Treatment :
There is no medicamentous treatment.
The surgery can be discussed in the
cases deficit of extension significant, awkward for
the everyday life gesture.
Principle :
To remove the aponevrotic cord doing an incision in
front of this cord, by taking care to release it compared
with the vessels and the sensory nerves. At the end
of the intervention, we obtain a complete extension
of the finger.
Advantages :
We can move and use the fingers after the intervention.
Limits :
In certain evolved forms, a graft of skin can be necessary.
A clinical example :
The ring finger is touched
; it is in inflection with 110°
(either beyond the right angle) and cannot rectify itself.
At the end of the intervention,
the finger can be put in extension.
In this example, a graft of skin was carried out.
On this sight, the operated finger
is parallel to the different one.
