The "S" Quattro in severe Dupuytren's contracture.

Abstract
Postoperative traction, using the "S" Quattro external fixation device, improved the initial correction in 17 of 18 fingers treated by limited fasciectomy for severe proximal interphalangeal joint contracture in Dupuytren's disease. Unfortunately significant recurrence occurred in eight within 1 year and only five maintained improved function. Complications included infection, loosening, recurrence, stiffiness and amputation.
