Efficient hands without pain

Are your fingers unable to straighten? Or do they „snap” when moving?

Your hands accompany you daily in work, hobbies, and small gestures. Over time, even slight movement limitations can make everyday tasks difficult. If you notice you cannot fully straighten your fingers, feel pain, tension, or characteristic „snapping” of the fingers – do not delay consultation. Do not wait for pain or movement restrictions to worsen. Early treatment helps avoid permanent contractures and pain.

At Wilmed Clinic in Warsaw, we offer modern, minimally invasive surgical treatment that restores full hand function and helps you forget about discomfort.

Dupuytren’s Contracture – when fingers refuse to straighten

Dupuytren’s contracture is a condition characterized by thickening and shortening of the palmar fascia. Over time, the fingers – usually the ring and little fingers – begin to contract, making it difficult to grasp and straighten the hand. The disease progresses slowly but does not resolve spontaneously.

Symptoms:

• thickening or nodules under the skin of the palm,
• difficulty straightening the fingers,
• limited hand mobility,
• permanent contracture in advanced stages.

Surgical treatment at Wilmed:

At Wilmed Clinic, we perform fasciotomy or fasciectomy, procedures involving cutting or removing the affected fascia.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and the patient can return home the same day.
The surgery restores proper finger alignment, improves hand function, and halts disease progression.

Trigger Finger – a stuck movement that can be released

Trigger finger (also known as stenosing tenosynovitis) is a condition of the flexor tendons where the tendon no longer moves freely within its sheath. The result is pain, swelling, and a characteristic „clicking” when bending or straightening the finger.

Symptoms:

• pain at the base of the finger,
• clicking or snapping during movement,
• stiffness upon waking,
• in advanced cases – inability to straighten the finger.

Surgical treatment at Wilmed:

Treatment involves releasing the tendon by cutting the narrowed pulley – a short, precise procedure performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting.
Within a few days, the patient can return to daily activities, and after a few weeks, enjoy full hand function.

How does treatment proceed at Wilmed Clinic?

• Consultation with an orthopedic surgeon or hand surgery specialist – thorough diagnosis, discussion of possible treatment methods.

• Surgical procedure – performed under local anesthesia, usually lasting 20–40 minutes.

• Recovery period – quick return to daily activities, support from a physiotherapist, and specialist follow-up.
