Despite recent advancements in the nonsurgical treatment for Dupuytren contracture,
a number of patients remain poor nonsurgical candidates or elect for surgical management.
The traditional McCash technique releases contractures while leaving open palmar wounds.
Although successful in alleviating contractures, these wounds are traditionally large,
transverse incisions across the palm. A modification of this technique has been performed
that permits the surgeon to utilize smaller wounds while eliminating debilitating
contractures.
