Congratulations to Dr. Brian Bear as he was recently invited to participate in a national research initiative for Dupuytren’s disease, a type of hand deformity. Dupuytren’s disease is a hand condition that causes tissue to thicken under the skin and pull the fingers inward toward the palm. Joining a select, invite-only group of more than 20 national hand surgeons, Dr. Bear will provide expert input on the appropriate use of treatment options for patients with Dupuytren’s disease, which can interfere with hand function and make everyday activities difficult. The research uses the Delphi method, where a panel of experts will respond to – and researchers will analyze – the collective survey responses. The survey will be disseminated among the panelists for three successive rounds of consensus-building refinements. Dr. Bear's practice at OrthoIllinois focuses on shoulder, elbow, hand, microvascular, traumatic and reconstructive surgery.
