FAQs

Yes, there is a genetic component to Dupuytren's contracture. The condition often runs in families, and individuals of Northern European descent are at a higher risk.

Dupuytren's contracture most commonly begins to manifest in middle age, typically starting around the age of 50, although it can occur earlier or later.

There is no cure for Dupuytren's contracture, but the condition can be managed with various treatments to slow its progression and relieve symptoms. Surgical and non-surgical treatments can also help reduce the contracture of the fingers.

While Dupuytren's primarily affects the hands, specifically the ring and pinky fingers, it can be associated with similar fibrotic conditions that affect other areas of the body, like the feet (Ledderhose disease) and the penis (Peyronie’s disease).

As the fingers curl into the palm, tasks requiring fine motor skills, such as buttoning clothing or typing, can become challenging. Gripping objects might also be difficult as the condition progresses.

How My Therapies Can Help With Dupuytren’s Contracture

Reduces Hand Stiffness

Regular massage sessions help to decrease the stiffness in the hand, enhancing mobility and function which can be restricted by the condition.

Enhances Circulation

Effective massage techniques increase blood flow to the affected areas, which can aid in keeping the tissues healthy and potentially slow the progression of the contracture.

While Dupuytren’s contracture may not always be painful, massage can relieve associated discomfort caused by strain from the restricted movement of the fingers.

Dupuytren’s Contracture Explained

Understanding Dupuytren’s Contracture

Dupuytren’s contracture is a hand deformity that gradually develops over years. The condition affects a layer of tissue that lies under the skin of your palm. Knots of tissue form under the skin — eventually creating a thick cord that can pull one or more fingers into a bent position.

Symptoms of Dupuytren’s Contracture

The main symptoms include:

  • Nodules or thickened skin in the palm
  • Gradual bending of the fingers towards the palm
  • Inability to lay the hand flat on a surface
  • Sometimes, tenderness or discomfort

Causes and Risk Factors

The exact cause of Dupuytren’s contracture is unknown, but several factors may increase the risk:

  • Family history of Dupuytren’s
  • Age over 50
  • Male gender
  • Northern European or Scandinavian ancestry
  • Smoking and alcohol use due to their impact on blood circulation

Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosis is typically based on a physical exam of the hands. Treatments vary depending on the severity of the condition and may include:

  • Collagenase injections to break down the cord in the palm.
  • Needle aponeurotomy to separate the cord from the tissue.
  • Surgery for more severe cases, which involves removing the affected tissue.
  • Therapy: Including sports massage and physical therapy to keep fingers moving and manage symptoms.

Prevention

While prevention may not always be possible, managing risk factors and early intervention can help slow the progression of Dupuytren’s contracture.
