Information about the procedure

What is dupuytren’s contracture?

Dupuytren’s contracture is a degenerative disorder in which the ligamentous structures in the palm of the hand stiffen and shorten, leading to flexion of the fingers and restriction of their mobility to extension. It is a disease in which the ligamentous bands in the palm of the hand become stiff and shortened, limiting the extension of the fingers – most commonly the ring and little fingers. The cause is not always clear, but genetics, diabetes, smoking or repetitive physical stress play a role. Gradually, hand function is limited and quality of life is significantly reduced. Surgery can significantly improve hand function and slow the progression of the disease.
