  • In this article we systematically review treatment options for Dupuytren’s contracture.

  • There is little evidence on the effectiveness of many treatment modalities for Dupuytren’s disease other than expert’s opinions (level 4).

  • Most hand surgeons perform selective fasciectomy for Dupuytren’s disease.

  • Because of its lower recurrence rate, dermofasciectomy is increasingly being performed to treat recurrences.

  • Percutaneous needle fasciotomy is a minimally invasive treatment with good short-term results in patients with mild to moderate contractures, but it has a high recurrence rate.

  • Radiotherapy and the use of collagenase are promising, but their role in treating Dupuytren’s disease is still unclear.
