Abstract
Dupuytren's disease (DD) remains a common fibroproliferative condition with significant
sequelae and impact on patient's lives. The etiology of DD is poorly understood, and
genetic predisposition is thought to be a strongly associated factor. Despite remarkable
strides in improving our molecular understanding of DD, clinical treatment options
have not yet overcome the frequently encountered challenge of recurrence. Recurrence
rates continue to shape the prognosis of this fibrotic condition. In this outcomes-focused
article, the various treatment modalities are reviewed. This further emphasizes the
importance of patient education and providing them with the information to make informed
decisions about their treatment.
