Abstract
Dupuytren's disease is a fibroproliferative disease of the palmar fascia which has been described for centuries, yet the aetiology and pathophysiology remain poorly understood. Surgery and collagenase injections comprise the main therapeutic options but disease recurrence is common. We explore the evidence underlying the current disease theories and outline other potential therapeutic options.Entities:
