[Lack of effectiveness of alternative non-surgical treatment procedures of Dupuytren contracture].
In the early stage of the disease a group of patients was treated with radiotherapy, later another group with injections of superoxid-dismutase. The results of follow-up examinations 7 years after radiotherapy and 3 years after treatment with superoxid-dismutase respectively do not differ clearly from spontaneous course of Dupuytren's contracture grade one. At present we cannot recommend an alternative treatment for early stage Dupuytren's contracture.
