General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

You must have a hand space infection. This space infection is treated by doctors.

In this surgical procedure sometimes muscles are also involved so that it also requires correction. Because of this muscle correction some times it may become difficult to fold the hand.

I advise you to do physiotherapy of the hand muscle. This involves various exercises. Electrotherapy, heat therapy is also given sometimes for muscle contraction.

Please do as much work as possible with this hand this will gradually help improves the contraction. Please start with the milder work than gradually shift to the harder work.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
