This book is based on results of the 2010 International
Symposium on Dupuytren's disease held in Miami, Florida, but it
also includes new data and additional chapters. It is hoped that it
will raise awareness of this underestimated condition and promote
cooperative efforts to work towards a cure. Up to date information
is provided on the epidemiology, biology, and pathology of the
disease. The principles and specifics of treatment are explored in
detail. The indications for and techniques of radiotherapy,
minimally invasive treatments and open surgery are fully explained.
The role of physical therapy is considered as well as the care of
relapse and complications. The treatment of Ledderhose s disease
and Peyronie s disease is also discussed. This book provides
invaluable information for hand surgeons, podiatrists,
orthopedists, radiation therapy specialists and general
practitioners. It will help to foster an interdisciplinary approach
to the understanding and management of this debilitating
disorder.
