Abstract
A study of the pre-operative condition of seventy-five hands afflicted with Dupuytren’s contracture is followed by an analysis of the results of limited fasciectomy approached by midlateral digital and transverse palmar excisions. The palmar wounds were left open and healing occurred with minimal complications. The correction of contractures compares favourably with that achieved using other techniques of access and wound closure.Keywords
