SNIPS is a new kind of educational course, cutting directly to the information you need to know in a short, visual format. Developed directly from content performance deficiencies from recent ABPS Continuous Certification Exam, these streamlined learning modules feature quick, easily digestible videos on important topics your peers struggled with last year. Take advantage of this great ASPS member benefit or upgrade for CME credits. This course focuses on important topics, in a short, visual Q&A format.

1. 1. What is the underlying pathophysiology of Dupuytren’s contracture, and which fascial structures of the hand are primarily involved?
   2. What are the common risk factors and demographic associations linked with Dupuytren’s contracture?
   3. How is Dupuytren’s contracture clinically diagnosed, and what are the key physical examination findings that guide staging and treatment planning?
   4. What are the indications for surgical intervention (e.g., fasciectomy) versus non-surgical options (e.g., collagenase injection or needle aponeurotomy)?
   5. What are the potential complications and recurrence rates following surgical treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture, and how can these be minimized?
