Needle or full surgery for Dupuytren's? 🖐️

Specialist hand therapist Jennifer Parr would get you to link in with a consultant or hand surgeon early, because there are different ways of operating depending on the severity.

💉 Needle fasciectomy: for a small cord. It doesn't cause as much of a scar, but it isn't removing the scar tissue and the cords. It's only cutting them, so it doesn't change the disease as such.

✂️ Full fasciectomy: removes all the tissue that's diseased.

Had Dupuytren's surgery? The scar is where the real work starts. 🖐️

The surgeon removes the cord, but scar tissue contracts. That's the nature of scar tissue.

Specialist hand therapist Jennifer Parr explains why the scar needs moving, and the tendons under it need mobilising. If they don't, it can cause a contracture: a nice straight hand that doesn't have its full function.

Had Dupuytren's for years? 🖐️

Specialist hand therapist Jennifer Parr explains: if someone's had contractures for around five years, the outcome in terms of range of movement after surgery isn't as good.

They might have a straighter finger, but it might not be perfect. What matters is that it's functional: it doesn't get caught, and it's not as annoying.

Our very own Alex Quinn has been quoted in The Telegraph!

The article looks at how to treat a torn meniscus, one of the most common knee injuries in midlife, without surgery. Alex tested the journalist's leg strength and set him a strength programme he could do at home.

His honest take on rehab: "When you say to someone that this is a six-month process, it's hard to get people to buy into it." It takes patience, but sticking with it is what makes the difference.

Wondering when it's time for Dupuytren's surgery? 🖐️

Specialist hand therapist Jennifer Parr shares what patients tell her before they go for surgery:

1️⃣ Their grip is affected
2️⃣ They can't put their hands in their pockets
3️⃣ Their fingers get caught when they're trying to do things
4️⃣ Money falls out when they take it, because they haven't got enough movement

It can be quite debilitating and get in the way of normal, everyday activity.

Should you stretch Dupuytren's contracture? 🖐️

Specialist hand therapist Jennifer Parr explains why hand therapists don't even tend to stretch it.

There was some evidence a few years ago that stretching the fibres actually causes micro trauma. That then causes more scarring, so it can actually make the contractures a bit worse.

Instead, the focus is on working within the range of movement you've got.

Why wear a hand splint every night after Dupuytren's surgery? 🌙

Specialist hand therapist Jennifer Parr explains: the splint goes on overnight for about three months, because that's when scar healing starts to mature. Before that, there's a risk of the scar tissue contracting, and the splint stops you squeezing your hand overnight.

Her simple rules:
1️⃣ Wear the splint overnight for about three months
2️⃣ Take it off during the day and move your fingers
3️⃣ If your fingers aren't as straight as they were, put it back on for a period to rest

Got holidays or a ski trip coming up? Read this before you book Dupuytren's surgery. ✈️

After surgery you need a 3-month block where nothing gets in the way of:
✅ Your hand therapy appointments
✅ Being reviewed by your surgeon
✅ Time to do your exercises

Specialist hand therapist Jennifer Parr explains why. Virtual appointments help, but a wound dressing change can't be done on a video call. Plan to stick around for at least 6 weeks after the operation, because the first 6 weeks are crucial for the outcome.

Back to the gym after hand surgery? 🏋️

It depends on your range of movement. If you've got full grip, your hand therapist will assess your grip strength from around the six-week mark and compare it to the other side.

Specialist hand therapist Jennifer Parr explains the usual timeline:

1️⃣ Grip check from about 6 weeks
2️⃣ Light weights from around 8 weeks
3️⃣ Really heavy deadlifts: wait a bit longer, or use straps to help

Some snaps from our recent CPD session with Jarrod Antlick, PhD candidate specialising in Achilles tendons. The session explored the latest research around conservatively and surgically managed Achilles tendon injuries, looking at how current evidence can inform assessment, treatment and rehabilitation. We then put the theory into practice with a hands-on masterclass covering clinical assessment and diagnostic ultrasound evaluation with one of our patients. A brilliant opportunity for the Complete Physio team to share knowledge, refine our clinical skills and make sure the care we provide continues to reflect the latest evidence. 🙌 A big thank you to Jarrod for sharing his expertise — and to our patient for taking part and kindly consenting to the footage being shared.
