Partial Palmar Fasciectomy for Dupuytren Disease
Dupuytren disease (also called Dupuytren contracture) is a benign fibroproliferative disorder of the palmar fascial complex that leads to the development of pathologic tissue that may extend from the palm to any digit. In its early stages, Dupuytren disease leads to the formation of nodules and cords; in its advanced stage, flexion contracture of the digits may develop. The presentation of the disease varies, depending on its severity and whether palmar or digital fascial structures are affected.
