title: Stenosing tenosynovitis in Dupuytren's contracture.
abstract: Patients with symptoms of stenosing tenosynovitis and clinical evidence of overlying Dupuytren's contracture were treated with localized total fasciectomy through multiple Y-V plasties and the excision of the A1 pulley of the affected digit. At operation the stenosing tenosynovitis could be separated into two categories--patients with external compression from contracting vertical septa or patients in whom the tendon constriction appeared unrelated to the overlying fascial disease.
