Dupuytren’s Disease
Dupuytren’s disease, or Dupuytren’s contracture, is a hand deformity that develops over many years. The condition is characterized by knots forming in the tissue beneath the palm. As this tissue thickens, it can pull one or more fingers into a bent position, making it difficult to straighten them and perform everyday activities. Both surgical and non-surgical treatment options are available for this condition. To learn more about Dupuytren’s disease surgery in Los Angeles, contact the Hand & Wrist Center Los Angeles.
Hand & Nail Infections
Like other parts of the body, the hands are susceptible to infections. One of the most common hand infections is Paronychia. If not treated promptly and properly, such infections can cause lasting damage to the hand. It is vital to seek professional care at the first sign of a hand or nail infection. Depending on the extent and stage of the infection, non-surgical or surgical treatments may be prescribed.
Ganglion Cysts
Ganglion cysts, also known as Bible cysts, are non-cancerous lumps or swellings that can develop around the tendons and joints of the hands and wrists. These lumps, filled with a clear jelly-like liquid, may feel firm or spongy, depending on their size. Ganglion cysts are typically painless and harmless, but they can become painful or inhibit joint movement. In such cases, a physician will recommend a surgical or non-surgical course of treatment.
Hand Tumors
The term “tumor” refers to any bump or swelling caused by abnormal tissue growth. Not all tumors are cancerous. In the hand, the majority of tumors are benign (non-cancerous). Due to the various types of tissue within the hand (bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, fat, and skin), many different types of tumors can develop, though few are common. Ganglion cysts, considered a form of tumor, are among the most common. Giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath are another common type. Some tumors can be left alone if they do not interfere with hand function. When treatment is required, some tumors can be addressed non-surgically, though surgical removal is generally recommended to prevent recurrence.
Tennis Elbow: PRP with Stem Cells for Elbow
Modern medicine has made significant advances in regenerative therapies. Two notable discoveries are stem cell therapy and PRP (platelet-rich plasma), which can stimulate the body’s natural healing process and restore healthy tissue naturally.
