Abstract

Dupuytren’s contracture is a disorder involving progressive fibrosis of the palmer fascia, eventually leading towards the inability of maintaining normal hand function. As the disorder continues to advance, those who are affected begin to lose satisfactory finger motion of the involved digit or digits and require appropriate medical action. Traditional treatment and management options for Dupuytren’s contracture are based primarily on the severity and extent of the disorder and involve either surgical or non-surgical approaches. Historically, the main treatment modalities used involve either a fasciotomy, fasciectomy, limited-palmer fasciectomy or the less-invasive percutaneous needle aponeurotomy approach.
