Patient-Reported Outcome in Dupuytren’s Disease Treated With Fasciectomy, Collagenase or Needle Fasciotomy: A Swedish Registry Study

Surgical treatment for Dupuytren’s disease: open fasciotomy and fasciectomy

The traditional role of surgery in the treatment of Dupuytren’s disease is being challenged by less invasive treatment options, specifically percutaneous needle fasciotomy and, more recently, collagenase injection. Nonetheless, surgery maintains an important place in the management of this condition. For many surgeons and in many situations, for example multiple digit involvement, recurrent dis...

Dupuytren's contracture: an analysis of outcomes of percutaneous needle fasciotomy versus open fasciectomy.

BACKGROUND Percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) is a minimally invasive technique used to manage Dupuytren's contracture. We compared outcomes of PNF versus open fasciectomy (OF) to examine the suitability of PNF in Australia. METHOD A retrospective cohort study using two questionnaires regarding Dupuytren's treatment was used to assess patients with uncomplicated primary disease. The primary...

Patient-Reported Outcome and Observer-Reported Outcome Assessment in Rare Disease Trials.

Long-term outcome of fasciotomy with partial fasciectomy for chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the lower leg.

BACKGROUND Fasciotomy with partial fasciectomy for compartment syndrome has had good short-term results, but no long-term studies have been performed. HYPOTHESIS Combining a partial fasciectomy with fasciotomy for compartment syndrome relieves pain and eliminates symptoms in the long term. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS A self-administered questionnaire was given to 62 p...

Correlation of Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) with other Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)

Background: The Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) is a simple, one-question patient-reported outcomemeasure (PROM). We systematically reviewed correlations between SANE and more extensive PROMs.Methods: We identified studies with correlation coefficients between SANE and other shoulder, knee, and anklespecificPROMs. We calculated mean, median and range across studies...
