A prospective randomized clinical trial to investigate the effect of silicone gel sheeting (Cica-Care) on post-traumatic hypertrophic scar among the Chinese population.
Hi - I'd like to share an incident that has helped my Dupuytrens on my left ring finger. I probably had 20 degrees of bend on that finger, thickening of the tendon and quite severe attachment to the skin of the palm, with significant local pain (when stressed i.e. carrying, lifting etc). I've practiced martial arts for 30+ yrs and last week I cleverly (not) stopped a kick with my left hand, bending the fingers back and causing great stress and some ‘tearing’ across the contracture.
Thinking the tendon had snapped, I took a closer look to realise some immediate bruising under the skin where the tendon has released itself from the skin. The tendon is now no thinner, but I have pretty much full flexibility back in that finger. What appears to have happened is the tendon has torn away from the inside of the skin. Visibly it is much better, as is the range of movement. Tendon is no less thicker, though much less visible. For your info I’m a white male, early 40s from European descent.
