Ultrasound guided needle knife dissection
This procedure involves a minimally invasive dissection of the fibrous cords in Dupuytren's Contracture using a needle knife guided by ultrasound imaging. Local anesthesia using 3-5 ml of 1% Lidocaine and 0.25% bupivacaine is administered for patient comfort. The technique aims to improve precision, minimize complications and reduce recurrence. Device: Sonosite M-Turbo Ultrasound Machine with Linear Probe HFL38x (6-13 MHz) is used for real-time imaging during the procedure.
