Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel recognizes Dupuytren's is progressive fibrotic condition often requiring surgery but supports with DMSO topically (some evidence), vitamin E, acetyl-L-carnitine, optimizes diabetes control, addresses inflammation, and uses hand therapy. May slow progression with comprehensive approach. Works with hand surgeon when contracture impairs function.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Observation if mild, Xiaflex (collagenase) injections, needle aponeurotomy, surgery (fasciectomy or fasciotomy) if functional impairment, radiation for early disease (limited evidence).
Limited non-surgical options, Xiaflex expensive and temporary, surgery has complications and recurrence common, doesn't use DMSO or vitamin E (some evidence of benefit), inadequate use of hand therapy and stretching, doesn't optimize diabetes or address inflammation.
