This condition is due to inflammation involving the ulnar side of the palmar aponeurosis. There is thickening and contraction of the aponeurosis. As a result, the proximal phalanx and later the middle phalanx become flexed and cannot be straightened. The terminal phalanx remains unaffected. The ring finger anything little finger is most commonly involved.
SELF DIAGNOSABLE =Dupuytren’s contracture can cause one or more fingers to stay bent toward the palm. This can complicate everyday activities.
TREATMENT Treatment depends on severity. •using needles to break tissue that’s keeping the finger bent, enzyme injection to soften the tissue and surgery
