Open palm technique in Dupuytren’s disease treatment.

Abstract.

Objective: To evaluate the results of the open palm technique for the treatment of Dupuytren’s disease. Method: The authors used the technique described by McCash. Twelve patients (13 hands) were surgically treated, between october 2002 and september 2011. Results: The wounds healed in a medium of 25 days (variation of 17 to 30 days). There were no complications, such as infection, haematoma formation, skin necrosis, residual edema. Conclusion: The open palm technique remains a safe alternative for the treatment of Dupuytren’s disease, with satisfactory results and low risk of complications.
