Hand surgery for dupuytrens fasciectomy

Dupuytren’s disease is a condition where scar-like tissue forms just beneath the skin of the fingers and the palm of the hand. Over time, this fibrous tissue can contract and force one or more fingers to curl up into the palm. This is known as Dupuytren’s contracture. After surgery, you should be able to make better use of your hand and straighten the affected fingers further. Hand surgery for dupuytrens fasciectomy is available at 54 BMI Healthcare hospitals.

Wrist surgery for excision of ganglion

A ganglion is a lump under the skin that contains fluid. Most ganglions form near the wrist joint. They are also found on the ankle and foot. The fluid in the ganglion comes from the joint through a narrow channel. After surgery the lump and any discomfort from it should disappear. Surgery gives the best chance of stopping the ganglion coming back. Wrist surgery for excision of ganglion is available at 53 BMI Healthcare hospitals.
