Abstract
The advent of fasciotomy by intralesional collagenase injection has been a significant step forward in the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture. While the therapeutic benefit of collagenase injection in the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture has been established, seeking its value relative to the surgery has stimulated an interesting debate about the management of the condition, causing us to examine the results of surgery in more detail. Dupuytren’s disease and its treatment has become topical and will be the subject of the hand surgery symposium at this year’s Plastic Surgery Congress from 30 May – 1 June 2019 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Victoria, Australia.
