Dupuytren's Contracture
📋Overview
Dupuytren's disease, also known as Dupuytren's contracture, is a progressive fibrotic condition affecting the palmar fascia of the hand. It leads to thickening and shortening of connective tissue, causing fingers (commonly the ring and little fingers) to bend toward the palm and impair hand function. It is a well-recognized fibroproliferative disorder primarily involving the palmar fascia.
