Abstract
Severe recurrent digital Dupuytren's contracture, with pseudomotor changes and inadequate palmar tissue, is often treated with amputation. In this study, 11 patients had 14 proximal interphalangeal joint fusions with shortening done for salvage of recurrent Dupuytren's rather than amputation. Indications for operation were pseudomotor changes, severe palmar fibrosis, previous operations, and a flexion contracture of greater than 70 degrees.
