I visited Mr Zafar Naqui with Dupuytren’s disease which had affected my little finger resulting in it being permanently bent double. The measurements taken showed this was a serve to moderate condition which affected my little finger with a 90 degrees bend at the MCPJ and 60 degrees bend at the PIPJ. My little finger was not usable and just got in the way of my hand.
I underwent a needle fasciotomy with a wide aware surgery procedure under local anaesthetic. This procedure was very quick and I just had to wear a hand splint for a few days afterwards. The small wound in my hand had healed within a week and I was able to straighten my little finger and use my hand normally. I was very surprised at how quickly I had recovered and now after two weeks I am using my hand totally normally with the condition resolved. I have some minor pain in my hand which is subsiding every day.
I found Mr Naqui to be very professional and approachable and a fantastic surgeon, who with this procedure has enabled me to get back to normal activities in an amazing time. I would like to thank him for his skill and attention and his commitment in resolving my condition.
