Dupuytrens Contracture with Secondary Ulnar Neuropathy.

Ng, Chen Fei

Abstract


Dupuytrens disease is a progressive fibrotic condition of the hand. The underlying pathomechanism is not fully known. Dupuytrens contracture can be seen in patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic alcoholism, smoking, or hand trauma. It is uncommon to affect the neurovascular supply causing clinical symptoms. We describe a patient with idiopathic Dupuytrens disease complicated with bilateral ulnar neuropathies and highlight the importance of such rare treatable complication.
