We have reviewed 90 rays in 67 patients who had undergone radical digital dermofasciectomy. Follow-up was from 24 to 100 months. Problems with skin grafts, moving two-point discrimination and active range of joint movement were noted. The recurrence rate in this series was 8%, a very much better figure for disease control than has been reported for standard approaches for Dupuytren’s disease. Radical digital dermofasciectomy is strongly recommended for all cases of recurrent Dupuytren’s disease requiring reoperation and as a primary procedure when there is significant skin involvement.
