Abstract
The etiology of Dupuytren's contracture is still not clear. Many theories have been proposed, but no basic data are currently available that would make it possible to treat Dupuytren's contracture by other methods than surgical intervention. The surgical technique used in our clinic is described, and a postoperative treatment is also outlined. This paper is designed to propose an acceptable technique for practicing trauma and hand surgeons.
