PROGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF DUPUYTREN'S CONTRACTURE

Raoul Tubiana 1

1 Clinique de Chirurgie Orthopédique et Réparatrice de la Faculté de Paris

In a series of 100 cases of Dupuytren’s contracture, it has been found that the site and degree of the lesions, the choice of treatment, and the surgical technique constitute the most important factors in prognosis.

Complete removal of palmar fascia, including the palmar and digital lesions, appears to be the most effective treatment for this condition.

Controlled hypotension in conjunction with tourniquet compression has been employed in a series of selected cases.
