Struggling to straighten your fingers? Dupuytren’s contracture is a condition where the connective tissue in the palm thickens and tightens, pulling one or more fingers into a bent position.
Common signs:
- Thickened lumps or cords in the palm
- Gradual bending of one or more fingers
- Difficulty placing your hand flat on a table
- Usually affects the ring and little fingers
What causes it?
- More common in people over 50
- May run in families
