Abstract

The term »the diabetic hand« traditionally denotes complications affecting the hand in individuals with diabetes mellitus, such as restricted finger movement, numbness, and pain. Trigger finger, Dupuytren's disease, carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve entrapment, and osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint are all conditions that are more prevalent among individuals with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This overview aims to shed light on a somewhat neglected area in diabetes complications, i.e. the diabetic hand, to increase the knowledge among physicians and surgeons as well as nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists treating patients with diabetes.

Abstract (Swedish)
Den diabetiska handen är ett vanligt syndrom som framför allt drabbar individer med förhöjt fasteblodsocker.

Karpaltunnelsyndrom, ulnarisnervinklämning i arm­bågen, triggerfinger, Dupuytrens sjukdom och tumbasartros är handkirurgiska diagnoser som är vanliga hos individer med diabetes.

Individer med diabetes drabbas ofta av flera av de tillstånd som inkluderas i begreppet »den diabetiska handen«.

Kirurgisk behandling är ofta effektiv för symtom­lindring.
