title: Occurrence of Dupuytren's disease beneath a full thickness skin graft: a semantic reappraisal.
abstract: Recurrence beneath a Wolfe graft is reported and discussed. While the dermofasciectomy appears able to inhibit myofibroblast proliferation where the graft is in direct contact with the graft bed, it is possible that, in the finger, the narrow strip behind the neurovascular bundle may, very rarely, escape this control and proceed to extension in depth.
