At netcare Linksfield Hospital, Palmar Fasciectomy is performed using advanced hand surgery techniques and personalised treatment plans based on the patient's condition. Established in 1991, this COHSASA hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa has 319 beds and provides comprehensive orthopedic care.

Palmar Fasciectomy may be recommended for patients with significant Dupuytren's contracture that limits finger extension, hand function, or daily activities. The procedure involves removing or releasing the thickened fibrous tissue responsible for the contracture, allowing the affected fingers to move more freely. Before treatment, the surgeon evaluates the extent of tissue involvement and finger movement. Postoperative hand therapy, splinting when indicated, and exercises support healing and help maintain the improved range of motion.
