Dupuytren's disease is a progressive fibroproliferative disorder of uncertain aetiology which tends to affect people's hands, in particular the ring and little fingers. Unfortunately, there is little that conservative management can do to help this condition and surgery remains the mainstay of treatment. Mr Beagley has dealt with many hundreds of patients with Dupuytren's and considers it one of his areas of expertise. Following surgery, all his patients are referred through to Hand Therapists for management of their healing wounds and rehabilitation.www.cosmeticsurgeon.org.nz
