Effectiveness of Percutaneous Needle Aponeurotomy
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Percutaneous needle aponeurotomy: It consists in cutting the fibrotic cord due to the disease and responsible for the flexion contracture, with a needle under local anesthesia. The procedure can be repeated as required during the same session. One to three sessions with at least one-week interval are usually sufficient and will be allowed. It will be performed in outpatient setting by a senior physician experienced in the procedure
Open surgery with limited aponeurectomy: It consists in excision of the fibrotic aponeurosis.It will be performed by hand surgeons under loco-regional anaesthesia during a short hospitalization (1 day stay). Post-operative cares are necessary (analgesics, splint, nursing, physiotherapy)
Study summary
The main objective is to investigate if percutaneous needle aponeurotomy is non-inferior to open surgery using aponeurectomy in treatment of flexion contracture due to Dupuytren's disease.
Our hypothesis is that percutaneous needle aponeurotomy has suitable efficacy and safety profile for large application in the treatment of Dupuytren's disease and that it is consequently able to drastically reduce the need of open surgery in this indication.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Metacarpophalangeal joint contracture during passive extension — at 3 months after treatment
Expressed in degrees, using low energy computed tomography for blinded assessment (computed tomography imaging will be analysed by a blinded assessor not involved in the treatment). Baseline will be Metacarpophalangeal joint contracture during passive extension the day of the treatment, before any treatment
