Summary:The pros and cons of the shift from open or limited fasciectomy to less invasive techniques, such as minimally invasive techniques like needle aponeurotomy (NA), collagenase collagenase histolyticum (CCH), injection and manipulation, dynamic force coupler external fixation devices and "wide-awake" fasciectomy, are elegantly exposed. The fourth theme focuses on selected chronic illnesses that affect hand function including rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma.
