Dupuytren's fasciectomy: How effective is it?
Dupuytren’s contracture is a hand condition where the connective tissue beneath the skin of the palm thickens and tightens, forming cords that can bend one or more fingers into a fixed position. While the condition often starts mildly, it can progress, limiting hand function and quality of life. A fasciectomy, or surgical removal of the affected tissue, is one of the primary treatments for more advanced cases of Dupuytren’s. The article explores the effectiveness of fasciectomy, potential benefits, and factors influencing outcomes.
