Review Question - QID 219898

A 57-year-old male presents to the hand clinic with a contracture of the right ring finger. He reports having been treated six years ago for Dupuytren’s disease with a needle aponeurotomy, but the contracture has recurred over the past year. On examination, he demonstrates a 35° flexion contracture at the metacarpophalangeal joint, a 40° contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint, and a palpable Dupuytren cord. After discussing treatment options, the patient agrees to undergo the procedure with the lowest risk of recurrence. What is the most common complication following this procedure?
