Fasciotomy:
In the surgical procedure of fasciotomy, the surgeon divides the thick band of ligament tissues so that there is a revival of the finger mobility and the curling of the fingers stops. The doctor numbs the area of thick and stiff cord tissues and then makes smaller incisions in the palm, which is closer to the affected fingers. The precision of the incisions guarantee the success of the procedure and also the healing of the patient. At the same time, the patient must need to wear a splint so that the incisions on the skin heal with time.
