Abstract
Needle aponeurotomy is an effective, minimally invasive treatment for metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joint contractures caused by Dupuytren disease. Multiple joints and digits can be safely treated in 1 session. Needle aponeurotomy is more cost-effective and has a significantly lower complication rate compared with open fasciectomy and collagenase injections. Recurrence rates are higher compared with open fasciectomy and collagenase injections. Patient satisfaction rates are high following needle aponeurotomy; the single clinic visit required and the minimal downtime after treatment are advantages unique to this procedure compared with other treatment modalities, including open fasciectomy, dermatofasciectomy, collagenase injections, and lipofilling.
