Palmar Segmental Aponeurectomy for Dupuytren’s Disease with Metacarpophalangeal flexion Contracture

From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, West Norwich Hospital, Norwich, UK

Correspondence: Mr J. Clibbon, Dept. of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, West Norwich Hospital, Bowthorpe Road, Norwich NR2 3TU. E-mail: jclibbon{at}lineone.net

Eighty palmar segmental aponeurectomies were performed between 1993 and 1999 for well-localized palmar cords with metacarpophalangeal flexion contracture. A retrospective patient review with a minimum follow-up of 1-year demonstrated a 6% rate of recurrent metacarpophalangeal flexion and two minor complications. Segmental aponeurectomy rather than limited fasciectomy is recommended for this type of disease.
