Dupuytren's contracture following burn injury of the hand: A case report and review of literature.
In burn patients, scar contractures adjacent to or across the joints lead to disabling deformities. In Dupuytren's disease, the proliferative process involves the fascia of the palm and fingers, resulting in disabling flexion contractures of the fingers and the palm. A single insult involving the hand or even a more proximal injury may lead to Dupuytren's disease.
