Dupuytren Contracture
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Dupuytren's disease is a common and disabling fibroproliferative condition of the hand. The condition is named after Baron Dupuytren, a French surgeon, who developed eminent surgeon Henry Cline's initial observations regarding this entity. It belongs to the group of fibromatoses that include plantar fibromatosis, penile fibromatosis, and fibromatosis of the dorsal Proximal interphalangeal joints. Although many cases appear to be idiopathic, various associated diseases and risk factors have been reported – chronic alcoholism being one of them.
