Description

5 patients with Dupuytren’s contracture were reviewed. In addition to the characteristic flexion contractures, palmar fibromatosis, knuckle pads and plantar fibromatosis were observed. A limited fasciectomy was performed on 3 hands and 2 feet, and the results were satisfactory in all cases. But in 2 cases of a simple resection of the palmar or plantar nodules, recurrences were noted. Therefore, it is important for the treatment that early in Dupuytren’s contracture, when there were only multiple nodules of the palmar or plantar region, we should not excise them easily.
