Q

Dupuytren’s Contracture/Disease

A

Palmar node, usually 4th or 2nd digit at MCP joint then the proximal IP joint
Dupuytren’s Diathesis is more aggressive form
trauma and occupationally acquired: repeated blows to palm and occupational stress
hands get stuck in contracture and lose range of motion
