Surgical treatment for Dupuytren’s disease: open fasciotomy and fasciectomy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
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 disease, severe contractures and where collagenase is unavailable or unaffordable, surgery remains the primary treatment.

Current trends in the surgical management of Dupuytren’s disease in Europe: the surgeon’s perspective
INTRODUCTION: Dupuytren's disease (DD), commonly affecting European men, is generally treated with surgery. METHODS: Orthopaedic and plastic surgeons who had been practicing for >3 and <30 years and operated on ≥5 patients with DD between September and December 2008 were surveyed in 12 European countries (Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Polan...
متن کاملPalmar fasciectomy after collagenase Clostridium histolyticum injection for Dupuytren’s contracture: A case report.
We present a case of successful salvage fasciectomy after initial collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) injection for the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture. We did not find any remarkable scarring around the Dupuytren’s cord and nodule three and a half years after the initial CCH injection. Pathological findings revealed the previously ruptured cord and partial continuity of the collage...
متن کاملMultiple Recurrences in Aggressive Forms of Dupuytren’s Disease—Can Patients Benefit from Repeated Selective Fasciectomy?
BACKGROUND In Dupuytren's disease (DD), limited fasciectomy is the mainstay of surgical therapy in patients at risk of contractures and disease recurrences. New minimally invasive treatments such as injection of collagenase clostridium histolyticum have evolved as a common tool for the preliminary treatment of Dupuytren's contractures. However, recurrences and their therapy remain controversial...
متن کاملUse of casting motion to mobilize stiffness to regain digital flexion following Dupuytren’s fasciectomy
Background. A priority in hand therapy following Dupuytren’s fasciectomy is to regain and maintain extension of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ). Historically this has been achieved through the application of mechanical stress to the affected digit with splinting and exercise. However, loss of a normal pattern of digital flexion in both the operated and non-operated digits is a common ...
