Boutonnieres Deformity
Hello, since I was two years old my pinky finger on my right hand developed something called "boutonnieres deformity" or "camptodactyly" in which my pinky finger cannot straighten out like the others. After growing up with my finger like this my whole life a doctor told me that it is too late for my finger to "go back to normal" and if he performed any surgery on it, my finger will lose any movement it has and it will not be straightened out. Is there any hope that my finger can kinda be normal?
⢠Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
