Dupuytren disease is a fibroproliferative disease of the palmar fascia that results in debilitating digital contractures. Despite medical advances, the measurement of disease severity, functional deficits, and treatment outcomes remains challenging. Treatment options vary widely, yet practitioners often use only a small number of modalities. These options range from minimally invasive office procedures to extensive surgery, with adjuncts such as radiation and soft-tissue flaps. A thorough understanding of disease pathophysiology and treatment options can help surgeons offer more individualized care for this elusive disease.
 

Intended Audience
This educational activity is intended for all CME-related persons including plastic surgery practitioners, residents, and other healthcare professionals.

 

After viewing this course, the participant should be able to:

    1. Understand the current molecular biology of Dupuytren disease.
    2. Critically evaluate the functional outcomes of treatment. 
    3. Confidently use any of the commonly used treatments. 
    4. Provide patients with appropriately selected treatment choices.
