Re: Dupuytrens Treatment Flow Chart

Hi Al

Thanks for considering and incorporating some of my suggestions. I think this is quite a useful tool for people new to Dupuytren's. I do hope you get some more feedback.

I still have one more suggestion, that I hope you will think about.

You actually have covered it already by tagging the blue arrow lines as monitor and document between diagnosis and treatment. But in the case of RT, or not, I think this is too subtle. As you know RT is only done when the disease shows signs of being active. In my own case when I had the consultation with Prof S, he treated only one hand, because although I have signs or dormant symptoms in the other hand, it was not at the right 'active condition' (right stage though) to be treated.

So, is there some way you can add an explicit 'active, yes/no' box before RT with arrow to RT and another arrow back around the GP or Consultant Radiologist as a loop?

Hope this makes sense and still retains the elegance of simplicity.

Hi spanishbuddha

The flow chart now has an active / not active loop as you suggested.
