title: Dermofasciectomy for Dupuytren's disease.
abstract: The empirical observation that skin replacement by free skin grafts prevents recurrence of Dupuytren's disease is applied here to the treatment of recurrent Dupuytren's disease. In young patients with a strong "Dupuytren's diathesis," this technique of skin excision along with the fascia is used prophylactically as the primary treatment.
