A talk by Dr Richard Shaffer followed by Questions and Answers with Anna Schurer, BDS.
This lecture covers radiotherapy treatment for early Dupuytren's Disease to prevent Dupuytren's contracture and for Ledderhose Disease to reduce pain and improve function. Dr Shaffer explains when the best time is for radiotherapy, what you can expect from the consultation and treatment, what results you can expect or hope for. He discusses positive effects and possible side effects, why a patient's age and lifestyle is important in the treatment decision, and how to look after your hands or feet during and after radiation treatment.
