By Autumn last year I had a ring finger, suffering from Dupuytren’s disease, which was inflexibly curved in a ‘u’ shape over my palm which made use of the hand extremely awkward.
Mr Naqui operated on my hand in November. This operation was extremely successful and by the end of January my finger was perfectly straight and had normal speed of response and range of movement. The whole of my palm and finger has normal touch sensitivity and without any pain.
It is a delightful outcome and I would recommend all patients to persevere and use the split as instructed and not feel tempted to stop using it. It is an important ingredient to the straightening of the finger into a normal position and it is a great temptation to stop using it after a short time.
