Abstract in brief

This study is the largest of its kind and examines the safety of percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) in treating Dupuytren contracture, involving 3,331 fingers in 2,257 patients over several years.
The findings show that PNF is a generally safe procedure, with very few severe complications such as tendon rupture, nerve damage, or infections, none of which required surgery or led to amputation.
Overall, the study concludes that when a specific PNF method is used, the treatment has a low risk of serious postoperative issues, supporting its safety as a minimally invasive option.
