Two unusual cases of distal interphalangeal joint Dupuytren's contracture.
Following trauma, two Caucasian males presented with Dupuytren's contracture affecting the distal interphalangeal joint of the little finger and extending onto the dorsum of the digit to insert into the nail bed. Complete excision of the cords and appropriate physiotherapy helped the patients achieve excellent postoperative results.
