Radiotherapy for Symptomatic Knuckle Pads Associated With Dupuytren’s Disease: A Report of a Case Series
Our study details the treatment response of nine patients with knuckle pads to radiotherapy. Patients tolerated treatment well, with the majority reporting symptomatic and physical improvement, as well as favorable satisfaction with outcomes. Our findings suggest that radiotherapy is a safe and effective treatment option for knuckle pads providing durable disease control and can be considered in the appropriate clinical setting.
