Introduction Dupuytren's disease is a progressive fibroproliferative condition of the palmar fascia (PF) (aponeurosis) of the hand that can result in debilitating digital contractures [1, 2]. Following the formation of highly cellular ‘nodules’, collagenous cords align along the length of the fascia form and contract due to myofibroblast activity [3]. Progression is staged from 0 to IV depending on the degree of digit contracture [4].
