Introduction: Percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) is a non-invasive treatment option for finger flexion contractures caused by Dupuytren's disease. Variations in PNF techniques include the use of corticosteroid injection. In the presented randomised controlled trial, we compare the efficacy of PNF +/- corticosteroid injection in terms of reducing the recurrence rate.

Dupuytren's contracture is a chronic condition that affects the palmar fascia, leading to progressive flexion of the fingers, particularly the ring and little fingers. This article provides an in-depth review of the current understanding of the condition and its management. Commonly seen in older men of Northern European descent, Dupuytren's can significantly impair hand function as contractures develop.

Article Synopsis
- Non-Dupuytren's contracture, often resulting from trauma or surgery, usually doesn't need surgery; however, in this case, an 81-year-old woman had a series of surgeries for finger issues, leading to ongoing complications.
- During her surgeries, procedures like limited fasciectomy, flexor tenolysis, and joint mobilization were performed, but the flexion contracture persisted after initial attempts.
- Ultimately, despite multiple interventions including excision of the cord and attempts to improve motion, the flexion contracture recurred, highlighting the need to anticipate potential recurrence in surgical planning for non-Dupuytren's contracture.

Background: Currently, there is no recommended standard set of outcomes to report in Dupuytren disease treatment studies, nor are there guidelines on how the outcomes themselves should be reported. This study aimed to elicit the most salient issues for patients living with and undergoing treatment for Dupuytren disease, as well as for the hand surgeons, occupational therapists, and physical therapists caring for these patients.
Methods: A qualitative, interpretive description study employing one-on-one semi-structured interviews was conducted.
