Comparing Treatment Approaches for Dupuytren Contracture: Percutaneous Needle Fasciotomy With and Without Corticosteroids
Corticosteroid use alongside PNF improves objective ROM outcomes and reduces complication rates compared with PNF alone. However, subjective improvements favored PNF without corticosteroids. These findings suggest that corticosteroids may enhance functional outcomes while preserving the minimally invasive benefits of PNF.
