Treatment for Patients with Dupuytren’s contracture

As a hand specialist, Dr. Ferraro can treat Dupuytren’s contracture and other hand conditions.

An estimated 16 million Americans suffer from Dupuytren’s contracture. What begins as lumps or dimples under the skin of the palms becomes painful contraction of the hand as a rope-like cord pull down on fingers.

Dupuytren’s contracture is caused from a build-up of collagen under the skin. It may affect one or more fingers. Worsening over time, it is painful and constricts range of motion in the hands and fingers.

Shasta Ortho is pleased to have the North State’s only board certified hand specialist on our team. Dr. Ferraro has been with Shasta Orthopaedics since 1997. He specializes in disorders of the hands and wrists.

There are surgical and non-surgical options for treating Dupuytren’s contracture. Shasta Orthopaedics may be able to help.
