title: Dupuytren contracture in the pediatric population: a systematic review.
abstract: Dupuytren contracture of the palm is a relatively common benign fibroproliferative disease of the palmar fascia typically affecting the adult population. There have however been several reported cases of Dupuytren contracture in children. We sought to review the literature for Dupuytren contracture and highlight the main clinical features and management of the disease in children.
