Frequency and reporting of complications after Dupuytren's contracture interventions: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: There was limited reporting of complication occurrence, management, and outcomes following interventions, contributing to a gap in information for informed patient consent. MA was possible for reporting of proportions for infection, nerve injury, and CRPS across interventions. NMA enabled direct comparison of the six commonest complications between interventions. These findings can guide intervention selection. Improving consistency and quality in complications reporting is essential to aid counselling of patients regarding the true rates and consequences of the risks of interventions.TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2.PMID:38548710 | DOI:10.1097/PRS.0000000000011440
