title: [Fused little finger in the palm after operation for recurrent Dupuytren's contracture].
abstract: A 72-year-old woman suffered from Dupuytren's contracture of her right little finger, which was treated operatively 3 times in 4 years. However, the finger bent back into the palm. Over time she hid her little finger in the fist. In 2010, she presented with the hand in our office. Surprisingly a fused finger in the palm was observed. The woman reported that she had ignored her little finger and that it was no longer present in her conscious mind.
