Feeling of pain and discomfort.
Bieranc faced this problem, called Diupitren’s contracture, about a year and a half ago, according to a press release. According to him, the problem of a specific event that would have led to the little finger being attracted in this way, as if it did not exist, seemed to arise on its own. At first, the finger was slightly bent, a lump appeared on the palm, and over time it began to progress.
“It is possible to live with a pulled finger, but it causes discomfort. Because of that finger, I cannot play sports or participate in active entertainment. I really liked waterboarding, but this summer I had to give up that hobby,” says the famous.
N. Bierancas states that due to the attracted baby, he was unable to perform even basic sports exercises, such as push-ups, because the finger was no longer stretched. On the other hand, bending the finger and holding the weight correctly has also become difficult. It was too difficult to do some of the physical work that hand required.
“That finger is always bent, and if you try to stretch it, it bathes, stretches and presses. In addition, this injures the finger even more, ”says N. Bierancas, adding that he would not have believed that the little finger could be so important in everyday activities.
You want to go to the gym
As N. Bieranc says, this problem is not very visually visible: the finger just doesn’t fully extend and there are some lumps on the palm. “If I sat down and did nothing, it wouldn’t cause any problems, but I’d still like to make a difference in this life,” smiles the opinion maker.
Among the things a young man would like to do in the near future is going to the gym. Therefore, N. Bierancas decided to contact Gediminas Samulėnas, a plastic and reconstructive surgery doctor, who offered to operate on her finger. “I thought I was almost the only one, but the doctor assured me that this is typical of thousands. And in fact, when you look around you, you can see examples of this type in the environment, especially among the elderly,” says N. Bierancas.
“Viking disease”, more common in men
According to Nordclinic G. Samulėnas doctor of plastics and reconstruction, Diupitren’s contracture occurs in various forms.
“Some people have an easy course of the disease: a nodule appears in the palm of the hand and a little finger pulls, but in daily activities it does not interfere, the disease does not progress. In this case, no surgery is required. And sometimes there are more aggressive forms of the disease, when the finger is bent more, the person can no longer touch a flat surface with the palm (this is called a “table” test), it is difficult for her to play sports or These are signs that surgical treatment is needed. Furthermore, it is worth bearing in mind that if the disease progresses significantly, the contracture of the finger exceeds 135 °, and the operation is still delayed, sometimes the amputation of the finger is required ”.
G. Samulėnas explains that the treatment of Diupitren’s contracture is exclusively surgical, but the origin and pathogenesis of this disease are still not entirely clear.
“It is well known that the tendency to contract the disease is inherited mainly genetically and affects men more often, especially the middle-aged and older people. Diupitren’s contracture is also associated with physical activity: it is more common in those who like active leisure, where there is a lot of work on their hands or who do physical work. This factor is considered hand microtrauma. It is important to mention that this is not a disease of the tendons as is often thought. The disease is not determined by a shortened tendon, but by the contraction of the fascia of the palm ”, explains G. Samulėnas.
It is interesting that among doctors Diupiter’s contracture is also called “Viking disease”, because its roots are in Scandinavia; For a long time, most of the cases of this disease have been documented in the Nordic countries, to which Lithuania can be attributed in part.
You can do sports in a month
According to G. Samulėnas, the case of N. Bieranco is a bit atypical, because he is a young man whose disease is not very advanced, but has already begun to interfere with daily life and the finger is no longer straightened. Therefore, a famous man will have a hand surgery, aponeurectomy, on Monday. It is a moderately complex operation that takes about an hour. In about a month, the finger should heal completely and N. Bieranc will be able to go to the gym.
