Percutaneous fasciotomy for Dupuytren's contracture

Charles Eaton. J Hand Surg Am. 2011 May.

Abstract

Needle aponeurotomy (percutaneous needle fasciotomy) for Dupuytren's contracture can be performed in the office setting with local anesthesia. It is simple and inexpensive and has a low complication rate and rapid recovery compared with open fasciectomy. It can usually be repeated safely and effectively for recurrent disease.
