Dupuytren’s contractures are a very common pathology with a complex underlying pathophysiology that is associated with controversy regarding the proper treatment algorithm. Although many patients do not develop contractures, when the contractures do develop and hand function is compromised, there remain multiple important considerations when deciding on the initial or ultimate treatment for these patients. Although dermatofasciectomy with skin grafting and open fasciectomy have historically been the gold standard, less invasive procedures, including percutaneous needle aponeurotomy (NA) and clostridial collagenase injections, have been gaining popularity in recent years.
