Percutaneous approach

The percutaneous needle procedure, also known as aponeurotomy, is the most advanced, least invasive, and fastest way to treat Dupuytren’s contracture.

The procedure, which takes just a few minutes, involves a small needle to cut the nodules and cords that cause the fingers to curl into the palm.

Unlike open surgery, the percutaneous technique restores hand function immediately with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
