A modified open palm technique for Dupuytren's disease. Short and long term results in 54 patients

G Foucher et al. Int Orthop. 1995.

Abstract

Fifty-four patients with Dupuytren's disease were operated on using transverse and Bruner incisions, leaving the transverse palmar and digital wounds open. The mean follow up was 6.6 years (minimum 5 years). The mean percentage correction of the overall fixed flexion deformity was 71%. The incidence of recurrence and extension of the disease were similar to other series of limited aponeurectomy. However, the postoperative complications were very much lower and the method is particularly suitable for patients over 50 years of age.
