Anesthesia for Dupuytren’s Contracture
Hand Clinics, 1991Despite the potential complications of brachial plexus blockade, it remains a reliable and safe form of anesthesia for surgery of the upper extremity. The site of the surgery dictates which of the four approaches to the brachial plexus should be used. When the choice matches the site of surgery, the blocks should be successful in approximately 80% of ...

Dynamism in Dupuytren’s contractures
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2014Dynamism of Dupuytren’s contractures may occur if a contracture crosses over both the metacarpophalangeal (MCPJ) and proximal interphalangeal (PIPJ) joints of one finger. In this situation the extension deficit at one joint can be influenced by the position of the other.

Dupuytren’s contracture in Ethiopia
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2016Dupuytren’s contracture is believed to be rare in Africa. We have observed the disease in many patients coming to our hospital. This study aimed to provide information concerning the occurrence of the disease and risk factors in these patients. All 75 patients who were referred to the hospital during a 2-year period because of a hand problem that was ...

Dupuytren contracture is characterized by a deformity of the hand in which the joints of one or more fingers cannot be fully straightened (extended); their mobility is limited to a range of bent (flexed) positions.

Dupuytren’s Contracture in Women
Hand Clinics, 1991Dupuytren's contracture in women is similar to that in men. A limited fasciectomy is the operative procedure of choice for women with Dupuytren's contracture. The most significant difference between men and women is the higher incidence of a flare reaction in women following the operation.

The Microanatomy of Dupuytren's Contracture
Hand, 1982The palmar fascial ligaments have been examined by microdissection using an operating microscope in fresh and preserved cadaveric hands. The palmar fascia is seen to be a precise three dimensional system of skin ligaments having discreet transverse, longitudinal and vertical fibre systems.

▼Xiapex for Dupuytren's contracture
Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 2011Dupuytren's contracture is a benign, progressive disabling condition of the hands.12 Traditionally, surgery (e.g. fasciotomy, fasciectomy, joint fusion and amputation) has been the only effective treatment but it is not an option for every patient.34 A potential alternative intervention is a formulation of collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (▼Xiapex -

Dupuytren's contracture in women
British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1965Summary Forty-six women treated by operation for Dupuytren's contracture are considered (seventy affected hands). In thirty-five patients (forty-three hands) a follow-up was possible. Function of the whole hand is often bad after surgery performed between 39 and 59 years (59 per cent. of women at risk).

Regression of Dupuytren’s Contracture
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1992The phenomenon of clinical regression of Dupuytren’s contracture is described and discussed. It is already recognized and used in fasciotomy where it follows the release of longitudinal tension. The quite extraordinary resolution produced by continuous passive skeletal traction in extension is presented. Regression beneath grafted skin is described and
