Palmar Fasciectomy: Symptoms, Classification, Diagnosis & Recovery

Palmar Fasciectomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat Dupuytren's contracture. In this procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the palm to access the thickened tissue. The affected fascia (the fibrous tissue) is carefully removed to release the tight bands causing the fingers to bend. This allows the fingers to straighten and restores hand movement.

Depending on the severity of the condition, the surgery may be done under local anaesthesia, where only the hand is numbed, or under general anaesthesia. After the surgery, patients typically undergo a period of rehabilitation to regain full hand function and prevent the contracture from returning.

Here are the signs and symptoms of Palmar Fasciectomy,

  • Thickening
  • Lumps
  • Cords
  • Bent Fingers
  • Limited Movement
  • Pain
  • Tightness
  • Nodules

Recovery after Palmar Fasciectomy usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how severe the condition was and how the surgery went. Most people can start using their hand gently within a few days, but full strength and flexibility may take longer. Physiotherapy helps speed up recovery and improve hand movement. Some swelling or stiffness can last for a few months.
