Abstract:
Dupuytren contracture is a progressive disease involving collagen within the palmar fascia. When the contracture progresses to meet specific parameters, intervention is considered and includes collagenase injection, percutaneous or open fasciotomy, or palmar fasciectomy. Complications after treatment include contracture recurrence, digital nerve injury or postoperative neurapraxia, flexor tendon injury/rupture, delayed wound healing or skin necrosis, dysvascular digit/arterial injury, hematoma, and infection. Patients with severe or recurrent Dupuytren contracture are more likely to experience complications. Patient education is paramount; one must consider the patient's goals for treatment, functional requirements, time frame for recovery, and tolerance for complications when deciding about treatment.
