Treatment Options for Dupuytren’s Contractures
Dupuytren’s disease is a chronic, progressive condition characterized by the thickening and tightening of the fascia in the palm of the hand. This leads to the formation of bumps (“nodules”) and bands (“cords”) that can cause fingers to bend toward the palm, often affecting the ring and little fingers most commonly. This can lead to significant deformity and disability of the hands.
