Snap finger
(stenosing tenosynovitis)
<< localized increase on an inflammatory-fibrotic basis in the volume of t. flexors at the point of maximum friction at the level of the metacarpophalangeal pulley (A1). sometimes it hits pulley A3 or A5 >>
Conservative physiotherapy treatment (non-surgical)
Rehabilitation includes:
➡️ Thermoplastic brace modeled on the patient's hand, to be kept at night.
➡️ Small functional brace to wear during the day's activities. The most suitable shapes will be studied and packaged according to the patient's requests, to avoid friction of the tendon on the pulley by blocking the movement but still allowing the functionality of the hand.
➡️ Targeted exercises
➡️ Mobility recovery
➡️ Occupational therapy
➡️ Cryotherapy
➡️ Evaluation of the causes (postures, gestures, etc.)
Post surgical physiotherapy treatment
Rehabilitation generally involves very few sessions of:
➡️ Targeted exercises
➡️ Mobility recovery
➡️ Recovery of strength and dexterity
➡️ Occupational therapy
➡️ Cryotherapy
➡️ Evaluation of the causes (postures, gestures, etc.)
➡️ Autonomous scar treatment training
