Has anyone here done needle aponeurotomy for dupuytren's contracture? are the results very good?

Depends: Needle aponeurotomy is a method of breaking of the contractures in the deeper skin layers. There has been some success with this, however, it is both operator dependent and also how the tissues will react to the procedure.

Yes/yes: The results depend on having the right indications-it will not work for every patient with dupuytren's disease. In the right patient the results are excellent.
