Dupuytren's contracture of the right little finger. Arrow marks the area of scarring. Typically, Dupuytren's contracture first presents as a thickening or nodule in the palm, which initially can be with or without pain. [12] Later in the disease process, which can be years later, [13] there is increasing loss of range of motion of the affected ...
Collagenase clostridium histolyticum is an enzyme produced by the bacterium Clostridium histolyticum that dismantles collagen.It is used as a powder-and-solvent injection kit for the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture, a condition where the fingers bend towards the palm and cannot be fully straightened, and Peyronie's disease, a connective tissue disorder involving the growth of fibrous ...
The disease is named after Georg Ledderhose, a German surgeon who described the condition for the first time in 1894. [3] [4] A similar disease is Dupuytren's disease, which affects the hand and causes bent hand or fingers. As in most forms of fibromatosis, it is usually benign and its onset varies with each patient. [5]
The causes of some deformities, such as Dupuytren's contracture, are difficult to determine exactly, however chances of developing the deformity may be increased by certain chronic behaviours or disease. [3] Consequences can be similar to trauma related ones, in that joint use may be disrupted. [20]

Knuckle pads are benign subcutaneous fibrotic nodules that are seen in the finger joints and/or the extensor area of the foot. [6] [7] [8] From a clinical perspective, these are well-defined, non-compressible, freely moveable lesions that resemble warts and primarily affect the dorsal portion of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and, less frequently, the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints.
Risk factors for primary, or idiopathic adhesive capsulitis include many systemic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, stroke, lung disease, connective tissue diseases, thyroid disease, heart disease, autoimmune disease, and Dupuytren's contracture. [14] Both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are risk factors for the condition. [14]
