Dual manifestation of Dupuytren's contracture: A bilateral case analysis with clinical implications

Dupuytren's disease is a chronic fibroproliferative disorder of the hand, characterised by progressive contracture of the fingers, which can significantly impair functionality. This article presents a unique case of post-surgical recurrence treated by [name of surgical technique used], analysing the impact of this approach on limiting recurrence and functional recovery. The patient, aged 63, presented with a significant contractile recurrence after a conventional aponeurectomy [February 2024]. Immediate and medium-term post-operative results showed satisfactory restoration of mobility, an absence of major complications and a significant reduction in factors favouring recurrence. This case illustrates the potential of the partial fasciectomy surgical technique in minimising the risk of recurrence, and also highlights the surgical challenges associated with scar fibrosis and vascular risk. An in-depth discussion is conducted to compare these results with the data in the literature, in order to better define the indications and limitations of this technique in the management of recurrences.
