Dupuytren's Contracture

THE MANAGEMENT OF ONE HUNDRED PATIENTS

R. M. MCFARLANE M.D.1 and W. G. JAMIESON M.D.1

1 From the Department of Surgery, The University of Western Ontario, London

One hundred consecutive patients with Dupuytren's contracture were examined and seventy-two of these were operated on.

The operations were radical and limited excision of the palmar fascia as well as subcutaneous fasciotomy and amputation. An analysis of the results of each method of treatment is given.

The patients whose hands were not operated on were followed to determine the rate of progress of their disease and the need for operation.
