What is Dupuytren's contracture?
About this ebook
Dupuytren's disease is a condition that affects the fascia—the fibrous layer of tissue that lies underneath the skin in the palm and fingers.
In patients with Dupuytren's, the fascia thickens, then tightens over time.
This causes the fingers to be pulled inward, towards the palm, resulting in what is known as a "Dupuytren's contracture."
In some patients, a worsening Dupuytren's contracture can interfere with hand function, making it difficult for them to perform their daily activities.
When this occurs, there are nonsurgical and surgical treatment options available to help slow the progression of the disease and improve motion in the affected fingers.
An effort has been made in this E-Booklet to describe the etiology, epidemiology, pathologic anatomy, options for surgical management of Dupuytren’s disease and to understand the importance of postoperative rehabilitation and management of potential complications.
