Abstract

A 76-year-old male with Dupuytren’s disease isolated to the right fourth digit presented with an MCP contracture of 40° and PIP contracture of 80°. As the patient experienced daily hand dysfunction, he was interested in pursuing intervention. After discussion of options, the patient opted for minimally invasive partial fasciectomy. This technique utilizes multiple transverse incisions to excise segments of diseased tissue. By reducing the degree of tissue dissection, patients experience quicker recovery with acceptable outcomes, especially those without significant PIP joint involvement.
