I do percutaneous needle fasciotomy *in my clinic* for Dupuytrens disease
Patients absolutely love it.
Conversations about recurrence, risks & what can realistically be achieved are important, but not everyone wants or needs a “big” hand operation

Most of today getting things together to begin offering patients a rapid access #handsurgery service.
Looking at the whole thing through a #sustainability and #equity lens
It’ll probs take a few more months before I’m up and running but still…

Many consider amputation to be an admission of failure or last resort:
This patient had an index finger that, post trauma, had fused in full extension
Amputation at MCPJ is often suboptimal but a ray amputation gives a great result

The combination of diabetes, infection & ischaemia can be a nasty mix
An index amputation often leaves “stump” that gets in the way. A ray amputation is a win here
None of it works without support getting sugars under control

The previous case I shared on here was an elective case requiring amputation, but index ray amputation works well in a trauma setting too
Especially in this context, which combined a laceration, infection, diabetes & gangrene

All laid out and ready to sew…after I get the bandages off next Tuesday, unless I am feeling particularly bored and stubborn. Surgery one of two all done, but it does slow me down a tad. 🤷🏼♀️

It has been a very long day/weekend/week
Only 11 hours of on-call left
Then it’s off down the road to do some regional/rural #handsurgery
For now, dinner consists of the things I found in the fridge.

🖐️ Radial-sided wrist pain can be difficult to localize. The Radial Grind Test loads the scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal (STT) joint by passively radially deviating the wrist, helping reproduce pain associated with STT joint arthritis
