Dupuytren Contracture in a Patient with Congenital Camptodactyly and Incidental Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2008, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Dupuytren contracture is commonly seen in northern European populations but not in Asians. Even more rare is a presentation of flexion deformity of fingers involving two different pathologies with incidental carpal tunnel syndrome in the same patient. We report herein a case of Dupuytren contracture with congenital camptodactyly and unilateral carpal tunnel syndrome.
