[The "open palm" technique in Dupuytren's contracture].
The authores reports on the "open-palm-technique" used in those patients in whom after excision of the Dupuytren's tissue and passive maximal extension of the fingers the skin in the palm cannot be closed without undue tension. Postoperative complications such as hematoma accumulation and edema can be avoided by this method. Neither the length of treatment nor the duration of incapacity is prolonged by this technique.
