Likelihood of Dupuytren Contracture Recurrence After Limited Fasciectomy, Needle Aponeurotomy or Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum: Systematic Review of Prospective Data With 2- to 7-Year Follow-up

LF offers greater durability and a lower likelihood of subsequent procedures than CCH or NA in the treatment of DC at intermediate term follow-up; however, the clinician must also weigh the length of recovery and potential complications between these three treatment options. Patients with PIP contractures should be counseled about a higher recurrence risk and potential need for closer follow-up.

Abstract

LF offers greater durability and a lower likelihood of subsequent procedures than CCH or NA in the treatment of DC at intermediate term follow-up; however, the clinician must also weigh the length of recovery and potential complications between these three treatment options. Patients with PIP contractures should be counseled about a higher recurrence risk and potential need for closer follow-up.
