Dupuytren's Contracture

Dupuytren's contracture is a fairly common condition that occurs when the connective tissue or fascia under the skin begins to thicken and shorten. As the tissue tightens, it may pull the fingers down towards the palm of the hand. In some individuals, the condition may progress until the involved fingers become disabled.
