We report long-term outcomes of proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis for treatment of severe recurrent joint contractures secondary to Dupuytren’s disease. The patients had at least two previous procedures for Dupuytren’s contracture that involved the same joint, before undergoing joint fusion. Patient demographics, satisfaction, functional outcome, complications, revision and re-operation rates are reported. Eleven patients were included with a mean age of 64 years (range 53–73). The mean proximal interphalangeal joint contracture at presentation was 102° (range 80°–120°). None required revision surgery at a mean of 8 years and 9 months (range 9–199 months). All patients were able to perform their activities of daily living and would recommend this operation to family and friends. This series shows that proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis combined with needle fasciotomy or segmental fasciectomy provides a satisfactory salvage procedure in cases of severe recurrent Dupuytren’s disease. Level of evidence: IV

Segmental aponeurectomy has been proposed as a less extensive procedure for the treatment of Dupuytren’s disease to limit the incidence of wound complications and stiffness associated with wide dissections. Analysis of the late results showed that the operation brought a lasting correction of the contracture. In hands which did not show any sign of progression of the disease, the follow-up values were even slightly better than the immediate postoperative measurements. It also showed that the proportions of recurrences, extensions and hands free of the disease are similar to those after other procedures and that the type of operation does not appear to be related to the progression of Dupuytren’s disease.

Dupuytren’s disease is a common condition. Its management has gradually evolved but still remains a source of much controversy. Recently there has been a resurgence in the popularity of percutaneous needle fasciotomy. It is a simple method that uses a hypodermic needle as a scalpel blade. It is usually performed in the out-patient setting under local anaesthesia without a tourniquet. It has few complications and allows almost immediate return to work with few restrictions. It can provide complete deformity correction and may offer a long-term solution in selected patients. It is also useful in converting advanced contractures into milder deformities, allowing a second stage digito-palmar fasciectomy to be more successful. Recurrence is earlier than with more formal and invasive techniques but the procedure can be repeated and does not preclude the patient from further surgery. This article reviews the technique and assesses the efficacy and outcomes of published data.

Patients awaiting surgery for Dupuytren’s contractures listed the problems from their Dupuytren’s disease that had led them to request surgery and their relative priorities of the results of surgery. The listed problems were compared with the nine items comprising the Unité Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main (URAM) Dupuytren’s disease-specific outcome measure. One hundred and ten patients reported 278 problems. Ninety-four different combinations of problems were provided by patients, and over half (55%) of the problems were not captured by items in the URAM scale. The long-term outcome from surgery was relatively more important to patients than speed of recovery. The URAM tool may not be relevant to patients in the UK, and further assessment of its face validity is required before it is used. Level of evidence: III
