Office-Based Percutaneous Fasciotomy for Dupuytren Contracture.

Office-Based Percutaneous Fasciotomy for Dupuytren Contracture. Orthop Clin North Am. 2020 Jul;51(3):369-372 Authors: Chambers J, Pate T, Calandruccio J Abstract Percutaneous fasciotomy is a safe, simple, and inexpensive treatment for mild to moderate Dupuytren contracture. The decrease in extension deficit in the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints after release correlates with improvement in patient-reported outcomes. Complications are rare and primarily include skin tears, which occur in approximately 4% of patients. Most patients are satisfied with the outcomes of the procedure at 1 year.
