| Popis: | Dupuytren disease (DD) is a benign, fibroproliferative disease of unknown cause. The disease predominantly affects the palms of the hands, causing permanent digital contracture of affected digits. DD is a late-onset disease and is often progressive, irreversible, and bilateral. The disease has a significant impact on the health care economy. The mainstay of treatment of DD is surgical excision of diseased palmar fascia. There is evidence of genetic susceptibility. This article introduces the epidemiology of DD and examines the Dupuytren diathesis to highlight the importance of identifying clinical severity in relation to patient counseling and recurrence risk following treatment. |
