Dupuytren's Contracture (Tight Cord in Palm of Hand)
With @OrthoEvalPal I show a patient with a Dupuytren's Contracture (Tight Cord in Palm of Hand). I will explain what it is, what it looks like and how to treat it conservatively. Dupuytren's contracture can creep up on you and become very disabling if not treated early.

This is exactly what happened to my hand. I've had it for 7 months Thank you very much for this informative video
Oh thanks a million Your heaven sent First time to your utube channel Such great information I was doing the excise with the video my hand feels so much better already I will do exactly as you say 2 or 3 times a day Wow God answers prayers Bless you
THANK YOU!!!! This is very helpful unlike my Orthopedic surgeon who told me I couldn't do a thing about this (but added 'it hasn't been proven but" in regards to stretching) and his PA even told me that what you're showing me here wouldn't help. Needless to say they are in my rear view mirrow.
Thanks, it work ..we need lost & lots of video clips like this one, very helpful...again, thanks.
Thank you so much ! I had no idea what this was on my hand but your exercises helped me immediately 🙏🏻😊.

Thanks for the info
Thank you for this information. I just started noticing a hard painful lump in my palm about a week now, in my right hand. I figured it had something to do with a tendon, as it felt tight & getting large & quite painful to the touch ( like a bone growth ) I started massaging & pressing on the area three days ago, as the pain was disturbing my sleep, & realized that’s what I need to keep doing, as it reduced the lump & pain, & I’m able to sleep now. I will try soaking in warm Epson salt water as well. Thank you.
Ty for 2 years I didn't know what was wrong it happen after I got out of the coma I don't really go to doctors that often me seeing this video definitely take some weight off my shoulders to go to a doctor and get it taken care of

Good to know this information is so helpful. I use an essential oil balm and rub my hands together up and down as though warming my hands. It’s helping.
I have it and is painfull like hell. Hope get better soon😢
I had this from prolonged use of elbow crutches. The hand grip was just long enough to reach the spot - my ring and little fingers on both hands.
I have had this for ages I am 57 I remember having it in my 20s it never hurts though i thought they were caluses or calcium desposite from playing baseball gripping a bat or whatever.I have it on both hands.I remember showing my dad about 15 years ago when he was in his late 70s and he said he had it too
I have exact same thing, in exact same location, also with pain.
I fell fractured my L proximal humerus 5/29. Conservative treatment. Noticed the flexor tendon below ring finger is protruding and stiff like a rope. Exercise ball does nothing. Your video is a blessing. Stretching my ring finger back is killer am doing it w massage going towards wrist, I was massaging wrong going towards finger. Thanks so much for your video! I have hope now.

This is what I have. Great video! I'm going to use all the advice for helping it. Mine is in the early stages so I have no finger deformity, just the nodules forming on both my hands in the same section as the gentleman does. Thanks for making this video. I think it would be easier for someone else to massage the hand other then myself. I think I would baby it a bit if it started to hurt. LOL

Nice and very informative video thanks . I too have such nodule in one hand , some kind of swelling. But it pains when I touch it. Fingers movement is OK. What should I do??
Great information! Is there a particular (electric) hand massager you recommend?
I this same thing no1 els in my family has ever had it but I am the only one that has played golf since young age and used my hands a lot for work I have a literal hole in my hand
My dupuytrens is from genetics, I've been using Epsom salts and massaging with an essential oil along with some exercises, it really helps with the inflammation.

Ive had operations on both hands. One was more or less successful the other not so good as the tendon is still tight. Not sure if these exercises will help though as it is quite tight.
I have this on the same place lik this man had ....how does it even developed tell me please
Dr. Where is your office? I have one in each hand.

I shattered my left wrist in 2021. After surgery and 10 months of painful occupational therapy, I’m doing better but not 100%. Tonight I noticed a hard lump on my mid-palm below the ring finger. Could the lack of total recovery of my hand/wrist be a factor in this? Thx!!

Hi, Thank you for your informative video. The only question I have is how do you even get it? I have it but how did I get it? Also I have a similar lump in the bottom of my foot and that’s called something else. Are the two related? How do you know for sure what it is?
I have small brown spots on my palm that popped out yesterday suddenly. But there are no side effects at all. I don't know what they are or why i have these. please can you suggest me something!

I have not been diagnosed with Dypuytrens syndrome but facing same issue. It is very painful. I tried magnesium supplements along with vitamin D and it works. I think one should try raking magnesium malate or glycinate as magnesium us a natural myscle relaxer. Also take Vitamin D separately as most of us are low on Vitamin D. Good luck. Let me know if magnesium works for you

just be mindful of stretching the part of issue and using that only gently. Volleyball would be fine. Gym is OK, but think about what parts of the hand you will use and what tendons are stretched and how....some people use gel gloves for weights I've heard...
I had surgery to remove the problem. My hand works just fine. I did not need any physio afterwards and my surgeon was also a board certified plastic surgeon so you can’t even see the tiny scar.

My pinky finger isn't working properly now, my middle finger doesn't bend completely and I'm experiencing tingling in my pinky and ring fingers. I am going to seek treatment elsewhere. I really think because of the Drs diagnosis almost a year ago, that I have not been given proper treatment. It's been almost a year since my initial injury and I'm in worse shape. I have photos documenting what's been going on. If you feel like OT isn't working I suggest you quit before it starts making matters worse.

I'm also trying to flex and move my fingers so my grip strengthens. I kept asking for PT as well but was dismissed. The OT asked if Dupuytren's runs in my family.
