Rare contracture of palmar fascia of little finger in male for 2 years.
Mr. Lu, 52 years old, has no history of hand injury in the past, but his little finger bends and contracts for two years, that is, he uses his hand. Medical examination found that his subcutaneous palmar fascia was severely fibrotic and hypertrophy, and he was diagnosed with rare palmar fascia contracture. After the diseased fascia is removed, the little finger can be straightened. Lin, director of the Department of Plastic Surgery of Taipei United Hospital, pointed out that the patient had complained of flexion contracture of the little finger of his right hand for two years, and had subcutaneous nodules for three years before that. Further examination showed that he could make a complete fist gesture, but the little finger could not be straightened, which was diagnosed as a rare contracture of palmar fascia skin. Lin, a man over 50 years old, said that contracture of palmar fascia skin refers to a disease caused by fibrous tissue hyperplasia of palmar aponeurosis, with finger flexion contracture being the most common, followed by little finger. The incidence of middle finger, food and thumb decreased in turn, with the highest incidence over 50 years old, accounting for 90% in men. Smoking, alcoholism, diabetes and HIV infection may increase the incidence. There are subcutaneous nodules in the palm of your hand, so you should see a doctor for treatment. Director Lin emphasized that this disease is common among Nordic peoples and extremely rare in the East. The reason is not clear. It is speculated that it may be related to genes, reminding people to seek medical examination as soon as possible when they find subcutaneous nodules of unknown causes in their palms.
