“…ADL selection was based upon a literature review, discussion amongst consultant hand surgeons, feasibility -taking into account availability of resources, and included ADLs featured in the validated and Dupuytren's disease-specific 'Unité Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main' (URAM) scale. [12][13][14] This French-language 9-item scale correlates with the Tubiana score as well as a patient-reported Visual Analogue Scale for disability in patients pre-and post-needle aponeurotomy. 3) Although it was a candidate measure for use in our study, it was deemed too lengthy and inefficient, as items 1, 2, 7, and 9 were inappropriate for our study methodology.…”

“…[36][37][38][39][40] Beaudreuil et al addressed this issue by developing the Unité Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main scale, a validated Dupuytren-specific subjective assessment scheme, 41 shown in Table 1. The scale was a final reduction of a list of 52 initial functional questions to the minimum set that statistically correlated best with the Tubiana range-of-motion score and a visual analogue disability score.…”

The large body of existing literature on Dupuytren disease is spread across many journals in many specialties. It is thus a daunting task for practitioners to follow trends and practice recommendations. It is also a testimony to the lack of an acceptable solution to this common problem. Recent publications provide evidence to highlight controversies and challenge some traditional teachings. Literature from 2010 to 2012 was reviewed with the intent of clarifying some of these issues.

“…DD usually starts in the palm causing an extension deficit in one or several fingers [1]. This leads to impairments in hand function and problems with performance of daily activities as well as quality of life [2][3][4][5]. The prevalence of DD increases with age and varies depending on sex [6,7] and ethnic group [7].…”

PurposeTo explore patients' perspectives on surgical intervention for Dupuytren's disease, focusing on patients' appraisal of results, involving previous experiences, expectations, and patient characters. MethodThe participants were twenty-one men, mean age 66 years, scheduled for Dupuytren's disease surgery. Qualitative interviews were conducted two-four weeks before, and six-eight months after surgery. The model of the Patient Evaluation Process was used as theoretical framework. Data was analysed using problem-driven content analysis. ResultsFive categories are described: previous experiences, expectations before surgery, appraisal of results, expectations of the future and patient character. Previous experiences influenced participants' expectations, and these were used along with other aspects as references for appraisal of results. Participants' appraisal of results concerned perceived changes in hand function, care process, competency and organisation, and could vary in relation to patient character. The appraisal of results influenced participants' expectations of future hand function, health and care. ConclusionsPatients' appraisal of results involved multidimensional reasoning reflecting on hand function, interaction with staff and organizational matters. Thus, it is not enough to evaluate 2 results after Dupuytren's disease surgery only by health outcomes as this provides only a limited perspective. Rather, evaluation of results should also cover process and structure aspects of care.3
