Abstract
|
|
|
Since Dupuytren mentioned about precise pathology of Dupuytren´s contracture for the first time in 1832. many investigators have reported it´s incidence, etiology and treatment. The authors recently experienced one case of Dupuytren´s contracture in a 34 year old male.
A physical examination at the out patient clinic of this hospital showed a 90 degree flexion contracture of the metacarpophalangeal joint and 35 degree of the proximal inteTphalangeal joint of the right little finger.
Also we noted a 30 degree flexion contracture of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the right ring finger.
We treated him with partial fasciectomy and the result was excellent showing a perfectly normal hand in appearance as well as in function.
We are now presenting this case with a review of the literature.
