Abstract
The phenomenon of clinical regression of Dupuytren’s contracture is described and discussed. It is already recognized and used in fasciotomy where it follows the release of longitudinal tension. The quite extraordinary resolution produced by continuous passive skeletal traction in extension is presented. Regression beneath grafted skin is described and discussed with its clinical implications. The generally accepted view of Dupuytren’s contracture being “irreversible” now presents a challenge for further clinical and pharmacological studies. The possibility of non-surgical control does exist.
