Dupuytren's Contracture
Dupuytren's contracture is a hand condition where fingers bend into the palm, restricting extension. It results from thickening and tightening of the tissue under the skin (fascia). Over time, Dupuytren's contracture may progress, causing significant hand function impairment. Treatment varies from needling to surgery, based on severity.
