Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the long-term outcomes of a surgical technique called Malingue plasty for treating Dupuytren's disease, focusing on functional, aesthetic, and recurrence metrics over a minimum of 5 years post-operation.
  • - Out of 107 patients, 55 were studied, with successful correction of joint deformities and no major complications reported; however, the mean extension deficit was 18.1° and a recurrence rate was observed in 50% of patients based on one set of criteria.
  • - Although Malingue plasty shows good functional scores and no immediate complications, it does not significantly reduce recurrence rates compared to other surgical methods, highlighting the ongoing challenges in treatment effectiveness for Dupuytren's disease.

Malingue's diamond-shaped skin plasty is a random skin plasty derived from the Z-plasty. Not widely known, this technique is an alternative to fasciectomy in Dupuytren's disease. The main objective of the present study was to analyze the topographical and anatomical differences between Z-plasty and Malingue plasty in cadaveric and experimental models and the geometrical and mathematical differences in modeling, in order to determine the respective gains in length.

The rate of failure or recurrence after ulnar nerve release at the elbow is up to 25%. Various biomaterials have been developed to protect nerves from postoperative adhesions. The aim of this study was to review a case series of 40 surgical revision procedures of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, protected by a collagen membrane (Cova™ ORTHO).

Severe contracture of the little finger due to Dupuytren's disease continues to be a therapeutic problem. Fifth finger amputation, which is sometimes the only solution, has a major negative impact on function and appearance, and exposes the patient to adjacent digital hook aggravation. Middle phalangectomy with finger shortening fusion is an alternative surgical solution.

The Allieu classification takes into consideration the distal and proximal joints of the trapezium. Trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint arthritis, TMC joint instability (TMI) and scapho-trapezio-trapezoid (STT) joint arthritis are considered independently, which better corresponds to the anatomical examinations. The aim of the study was to evaluate the inter- and intraobserver reliability of the Allieu classification of the peritrapezial arthritis.
