Ultrasound assisted needle aponeurotomy in the management of Dupuytren’s contracture

Abstract

Herein, we present the case of a 75-years-old male-a retired sales engineer-with a 10-year history of progressive contracture of the ring finger of his dominant right hand. The chief complaint was a right ring finger contracture and diminished dexterity. The patient denied pain. However, he did have difficulty with activities such as putting on gloves and shaking hands, which worsened significantly over the last 2 years. He also complained of bilateral basal thumb pain and difficulty with grip related activities.
