220 operations in 211 hands in 160 consecutive patients suffering from Dupuytren's contracture were performed from 1976 through 1984 at the Kuopio University Central Hospital in Finland. 179 operations were carried out as day cases. The mean follow-up was 3.2 years. Sub-total fasciectomy resulted in good immediate and long-term improvement in 86% of patients. The recurrence rate was 27%. Surgical treatment of Dupuytren's contracture was well-suited to day surgery. A properly planned follow-up programme is suggested because of the relatively high rate of recurrence, which usually appeared within two years after operation.
