Quilt blocks in white and tan with red and green accents, laid out on a wooden floor.

A hand bandaged in green medical tape.

All laid out and ready to sew…after I get the bandages off next Tuesday, unless I am feeling particularly bored and stubborn. Surgery one of two all done, but it does slow me down a tad. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Chonky line of Dupuytrens scar tissue in the palm

Dupuytrens tissue lifted up in a flap to show digital nerve curving underneath it.

Beautiful Dupuytren’s pretentious and spiral cord today with ulna digital nerve curving underneath, over the A1 pulley which was unusual. It then curved back through the middle at the PIPJ. Just when you think you know #Dupuytrens! #handsurgery

Going to tomorrow's is @bsshand.bsky.social and #BAHTHandtherapy joint meeting? @the-under-study.bsky.social Chief Investigator, Dominic Power will be there. Come say hello.

State of the Laura update (hand). September surgery went well. I spent 6 weeks in casts and broke free last week. Physical therapy starts soon. Not to brag or anything, but this morning I put on a long sleeve shirt and my fingers stayed straight & didn’t get caught in the fabric. #lupus #handsurgery

Patient reached out years after hand surgery just to update me on their progress. This is exactly why I think the relationship doesn't end when the procedure does - ongoing support makes all the difference in recovery success.

After the cord is released the nerve drops back into position.

Great example showing how the #Dupuytrens Spiral Cord got its name! The radial digital nerve has been stretched and twisted around the growing cord and ends up sitting centrally under the skin at the base of the finger! Before and after removal of the cord. Consent ✅ #HandSurgery
