Outcome of arthrodesis for severe recurrent proximal interphalangeal joint contractures in Dupuytren's disease.

We report long-term outcomes of proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis for treatment of severe recurrent joint contractures secondary to Dupuytren's disease. The patients had at least two previous procedures for Dupuytren's contracture that involved the same joint, before undergoing joint fusion. Patient demographics, satisfaction, functional outcome, complications, revision and re-operation rates are reported.
