Dupuytren's disease
Dupuytren’s disease is one of our specialty areas for Bisson Plastic Surgery. Marcus Bisson completed his higher degree (of two years) researching this debilitating hand condition.
Surgically this condition can be treated through releasing the thickening of the tissue just below the skin, enabling the fingers to straighten again.
