Abstract

Eighty palmar segmental aponeurectomies were performed between 1993 and 1999 for well-localized palmar cords with metacarpophalangeal flexion contracture. A retrospective patient review with a minimum follow-up of 1-year demonstrated a 6% rate of recurrent metacarpophalangeal flexion and two minor complications. Segmental aponeurectomy rather than limited fasciectomy is recommended for this type of disease.
