English
Authors' recommendations: Limited evidence suggests that percutaneous needle fasciotomy is associated with higher recurrence of contracture than open partial fasciectomy or collagenase clostridium histolyticum injections. Percutaneous needle fasciotomy is cost-effective, while collagenase injections may be cost-effective at a reduced price. Open partial fasciectomy was not found to be a cost-effective strategy for treatment of Dupuytrens contracture.
