Dupuytren’s disease is a benign contractile disorder of the hand. The condition commonly affects older men of Celtic descent. Although fibroproliferation and collagen alteration play a role in its etiology, defining a cause remains elusive. Nonoperative intervention for advanced disease has shown only short-term benefit. Therefore, open fasciectomy has

Dupuytren's contracture is a fibroproliferative disorder of autosomal dominant inheritance that most commonly affects men over age 60 who are of Scandinavian, Irish, or eastern European descent. Local microvessel ischemia in the hand and specific platelet-derived and fibroblast growth factors act at the cellular level to promote the dense myofibroblast

Dupuytren's contracture can be controlled by surgery and hand function can be markedly improved. Surgery is not, however, a definitive cure and patients should be so advised, especially when the disease starts in the younger age group.

Genetics of Dupuytren's disease
Joint Bone Spine, 2012Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a progressive fibrosis of the palmar fascia characterized by the formation of a nodule, which evolves into a cord. DD is the most common hereditary disease of the connective tissue preferentially affecting Caucasoids originating from Northern Europe.

The British Journal of Radiology, 1955
The normal anatomy of the palmar fascia and histopathological changes occurring in Dupuytren's contracture are briefly described. The presenting signs are reviewed in 34 cases and correlated with these pathological and anatomical changes. The results of treatment by surgery alone are given and reasons for overall unsatisfactory outcome discussed.

Fasciectomy for Dupuytren Contracture
Hand Clinics, 2018This article discusses limited fasciectomy for Dupuytren contracture, reviews the literature to list common complications, addresses the observations that need to be made after surgery, and systematically reviews the literature for 2 clinical questions: (1) regarding leaving wounds open and (2) the use of postoperative splintage.

Dupuytren's disease is a nonmalignant fibroproliferative disease that causes progressive and permanent contracture of the palmar fascia with subsequent flexion contracture of the digits. Although the exact etiopathology in the development of Dupuytren's disease is unknown, certain familial, racial, and physiologic factors have been determined.

Dupuytren’s Disease is a chronic proliferative fibromatosis of the palmar fascias that affects predominantly males of over 50. First signs are nodules and skin pits in the palm of hand. These may progress into cords that ultimately may contract and obstruct extension of the fingers.
