Abstract:
The continuous extension of Dupuytren's contracture prior to aponeurectomy in severe cases, introduced by Messina, is presented. This technique demonstrates the possibility of reversing contractures; it simplifies the surgical treatment thereafter and avoids difficulties in blood circulation and sensibility. First results in ten patients are presented.
