THE LATEST NEWS IN DUPUYTRENS

1. THEY ARE SEARCHING FOR MEDICAMENTS...

2. PERHAPS SURGERY WILL BE A FAILURE IN THE FUTURE

3. "WE HOPE WE WILL FIND A DRUG SOLUTION"

Until this, we have to do more or less invasive procedures...

4. There are 2 trends in surgery treatments:

Maximal invasive treatment: 

The goal is to put away all fibres of Dupuytren

Dermatofasciectomy

Good old open palm technic (Mc Cash): resection of skin and dupuytrens fibers. Let heal the palm open!

Skin grafting

Resection of all fibers with the microscope  (Mikrofasciectomy)

5. Minimal invasive treatment - this is my favorite and what I do!

...you can do it just like this:

...before Xiaflex and mini-aponeurectomy

Xiaflex and mini-aponeurectomy  = minimal invasive treatment 

3 months after Xiaflex and mini-aponeurectomy
