♦ Dupuytren’s disease is characterised by contracture of a finger resulting from thickening and shortening of the palmar fascia♦ A genetic component to the aetiology is apparent, smoking, alcohol and diabetes can increase the risk♦ The pathogenesis of Dupuytren’s disease remains elusive♦ Non-surgical treatment options include splintage, steroid injection and collagenase injection♦ Surgery cannot cure the disease but can straighten bent digits and minimize recurrence♦ Operative methods can be considered with regards to incision, management of the diseased fascia and closure techniques♦ Operative complications include injury of digital nerves and arteries

This study investigated influence of skin tears on patient-reported outcomes of injection of collagenase clostridium histolyticum for Dupuytren’s disease and association between extension deficit of digits before injection and skin tear after the injection. From 2016 to 2018, 391 Dupuytren’s cords were treated in 184 patients in a prospective cohort study and the patients were evaluated before injection and six months after injection. Skin tears occurred in 50% of these patients. We found no significant differences in the patient-reported outcomes between patients with or without skin tears. A higher extension deficit before treatment was associated with significantly increased frequency of skin tears. We conclude that the incidence of skin tears after injection does not affect patient reported outcomes six months after collagenase injection, but the incidence of skin tears is significantly associated with the severity of pre-treatment finger extension deficits. Level of evidence: II

The aim of this study was to determine whether recurrent Dupuytren’s disease after collagenase Clostridium histolyticum treatment differs histologically from recurrence in those treated with fasciectomy. We carried out a prospective cohort study of patients with Dupuytren’s disease who underwent fasciectomy to treat disease recurrence after previous treatment with collagenase Clostridium histolyticum or fasciectomy. The pathologists and statistician were blinded to the previous treatment. Longitudinal biopsy sections were stained with haematoxylin-eosin and the nodular zones were examined. Fifteen patients were studied: nine previously treated with collagenase Clostridium histolyticum and six previously treated with fasciectomy. There were no histological differences between the samples from the two groups of patients. Dupuytren’s disease recurrences after fasciectomy and collagenase Clostridium histolyticum are histologically indistinguishable.

We studied the influence of the type of skin incision on the recurrence rate following fasciectomy for Dupuytren’s disease. Patients were randomized to a longitudinal incision closed with Z-plasties or a modified Bruner incision closed by Y–V plasties. Follow-up was for at least 2 years or until a recurrence was noted. We found no statistical difference in recurrence rate between patients having these two skin incisions and closures.
