hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of your husband.

As he is been going through the contractures of the hand, a thorough clinical examination is advised.

As most of the contractures are clinically assessed and then it may be a capsular or muscular. Based on the clinical assessment the further management can be planned.

Usually in my clinical practice most contractures recover well with physical therapy like - therapeutic ultrasound therapy, wax therapy, hydrotherapy, stretching, myofascial release etc.

Based on the examination what treatment of choice is needed will be planned. Also, surgery is the last line of action.

Regards
