The Likelihood of Future Dupuytren Disease Intervention After Initial Treatment in the Same Digit, Another Digit, and Contralateral Hand

The authors aimed to determine the likelihood of future interventions for Dupuytren contracture after initial treatment in one digit, as well as identify predictive factors influencing these outcomes. They found that within five years, 42% of patients required additional treatment, with significant associations linked to factors such as age, smoking status, and the presence of initially untreated contractures. These findings highlight the need for tailored patient counseling based on individual risk factors.
