Dupuytren's contracture is a hand condition causing fingers to bend inward. Treatments include needle aponeurotomy, where a doctor inserts a thin needle into the cord under the skin to break it up, or collagenase injections that soften the tissue, allowing straightening of the finger. Surgical options like fasciectomy remove the affected tissue.

Dupuytren's contracture is treated through needle aponeurotomy or surgery in Sweden. These procedures help break down the thickened tissue bands that cause finger bending. Patients may receive local anesthesia.
Sweden's universal healthcare system covers most costs. Waiting times can range from 3-12 months for non-emergency procedures.
