Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study investigates the use of radiation therapy after contracture release surgery in patients with Dupuytren's disease. Dupuytren's disease causes the tissue beneath the skin of the palm to thicken and tighten, bending fingers toward the palm. Surgery can release these contractures, but there is a risk of the disease recurring. Post-operative radiation may help reduce recurrence rates. The study collects data from English-speaking patients who have Dupuytren's disease and are currently seeking treatment — either through surgery or radiation — to evaluate outcomes over time. You may be eligible if: - You have been diagnosed with Dupuytren's disease - You are 18 years of age or older - You are an English speaker - You are currently seeking treatment for your condition You may NOT be eligible if: - You have Dupuytren's disease but are not currently seeking treatment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
