Hand Surgery in the Context of Scleroderma
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma) offer challenges inherent in surgical interventions involving the hands, including poor circulation, compromised and inelastic dermis, constantly ulceration, and immunocompromised systemic status, constantly aggravated by immunosuppressive drugs. Despite these challenges, certain drawbacks that are affecting the hands of patients with CSSare best treated by surgery. Surgical methods in the hands of patients with SSc mainly aim to address the next complications: Digital ischemia, deformities of the interphalangeal (IP) and metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP), and Calcinosis cutis
