Subtotal palmar fasciectomy:
In this surgical procedure of subtotal palmar fasciectomy, the doctor dissects as much of the stiff cord as they can so the fingers can straighten out. The surgical procedure involves the removing of the tissues knots and the tight cords which make the fingers to bend inwards. The surgeon makes a zig-zag incision in the palm of your hand to reach the tighter cords which are causing the crippling and deformity of the fingers. This surgical procedure contains much more risk than the simple fasciotomy surgery, and the complications are also higher during this procedure. Moreover, there is more need to be careful after the surgery and the recovery might take longer time. There is also a possibility of doing a skin graft so that the removal of the cords does not pose any harms in the long run. The doctors also recommend some physical therapy for the hand to achieve the complete mobility of the fingers and also to speed up the process of recovery. Some of the surgical risks after this procedure include permanent tightening of the fingers, infections, and injury to the blood vessels and nerves in the hand.
