title: [Dupuytren's contracture (author's transl)].
abstract: The previous treatment, and the open palm and finger technique as described by MacCash and Borden were reviewed. The experience of the author with a case of bilateral recurrent Dupuytren's contracture with severe shrinkage of the skin and an almost total lack of cooperation on the patient's side is added. It is felt that in spite of a crust formation, which seemed at first to interfere with as excellent a result as reported by Borden, the open skin technique encourages further trials, especially in cases with severe shrinkage of the skin combined with psychic disorders, making the cooperation of the patient poor or impossible.
