The effectiveness of percutaneous local radiotherapy has been proven in numerous studies. The affected finger cord of the palm is treated with superficially effective soft X-rays (100 – 200 kV). As a rule, 10 radiation sessions are carried out for this purpose, with a total dose of 20-30 Gy. The treatment is carried out on an outpatient basis and is painless. The radiation prevents the cells from multiplying further and can completely dissolve the nodules and prevent the tissue from building up further nodules. In our clinic, we treat patients in line with internationally recognized study results using state-of-the-art technology. We welcome self-referrals from patients and referring physicians such as general practitioners, orthopaedists, etc. who recognize the disease at an early stage.
In the early phase of the disease, appropriate lifestyle modification with reduction of risk factors (alcohol and nicotine consumption), change of medication (avoidance of chondroitin sulphate and anitepileptic medication) and, if necessary, the intake of preventive medication (such as vitamin E) can play a role.
