Abstract
- Dupuytren disease is a progressive disease process that causes debilitating flexion contractures of the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints. There are multiple interventions to choose from, ranging from minimally invasive techniques with little downtime to open surgical excision with a lengthy postoperative rehabilitation. Our understanding of the disease process continues to evolve. Depending on the extent of flexion contracture, needle aponeurotomy and collagenase injection have satisfactory results with moderate long-term efficacy. Surgical palmar fasciectomy continues to be the mainstay treatment of extensive contractures, with durable results.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors have nothing to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
