Dupuytren's disease: recurrence and extension treated by selective aponeurectomy. A clinical review of 124 cases

Abstract

The treatment of Dupuytren's disease involves two problems: the amount of aponeurectomy and choice of the incision. It is the purpose of this study to critically review 124 cases of Dupuytren's disease treated by selective aponeurectomy, using the Skoog and/or Dieckman/Iselin routes of access. The results obtained appeared to be favorable as compared to other series, and this is attributed to the method used and to patient selection.
