title: [Trauma as a possible cause of Dupuytren's disease].
abstract: During two centuries, there has been an ongoing discussion in the literature on whether Dupuytren's disease (DD) can be caused by a single injury to the upper extremity. This paper presents three cases from daily clinical life and draws attention to a possible relationship between specific injury and development of DD.
