title: Dupuytren's disease: anatomy, pathology, presentation, and treatment.
abstract: The disorder called Dupuytren's disease has been recognized for approximately 400 years. Its presentation, although seemingly rather constant, is actually extremely variable, depending on which structures are involved. A thorough knowledge of palmar fascial anatomy is essential to the understanding of Dupuytren's disease.
