Risks Involved with Dupuytren’s Contracture Treatments

People with Dupuytren’s Contracture seek treatments to help improve the mobility and functioning of their hand. Various surgical and non-surgical treatments for Dupuytren’s Contracture help treat the symptoms and provide relief. However, different treatments may have different risks. Check out the complications involved with Dupuytren’s Contracture treatments.

Recurrence

This is the most common risk involved with this disease. Surgery or other treatments remove the tissue but does not entirely eradicate the underlying problem. Therefore, over time, the problem may come back.  

Nerve injury

Dupuytren’s Contracture cords may be closely wrapped round the nerves in the fingers. Sometimes, the cord pulls the nerve into an unexpected location,which may be injured with any invasive treatment. Nerve injury is a permanent problem that can lead to tingling or numbness in the hand or fingers.

Skin tears

After surgery and injections, the skin may tear and the holes may open. Skin damage is surprisingly common after a Dupuytren’s Contracture treatment. 

There’s no permanent cure for Dupuytren’s Contracture. Some home treatments may lessen the pain and enhance the range of motion. Surgery for this disease is not always a permanent solution as there is a high chance of complications, and a risk of recurrence. Consult your doctor before you make a final decision.
