Abstract
Dupuytren’s disease is a multifactorial polygenic disease accompanied by hand deformity with flexion contracture of the fingers. Despite the improvement of surgical treatment methods for this disease, the rate of postoperative relapses is high and can reach a third of cases or more. A search of scientific literature in databases was conducted using keywords and their combinations to analyze and systematize methodological approaches to the use of scales and questionnaires for patients with Dupuytren’s disease. 28 scales and questionnaires were found and analyzed, but only 11 of them correspond to the purpose of this study and can be recommended for use in real clinical practice. We divided these scales into four groups. Many diagnostic scales and questionnaires, on the one hand, expands the capabilities of the orthopedic traumatologist in diagnosing and assessing the dynamics of disease progression, but on the other hand, each of the analyzed scales separately does not make it possible to comprehensively assess the associated parameters. At the same time, the use of several scales on an outpatient basis and in a 24-hour hospital setting takes quite a lot of time.
