Histological staging and Dupuytren's disease recurrence or extension after surgical treatment: a retrospective study of 124 patients.

30 Jul 2009 Dupuytren's disease has a high rate of recurrence after treatment. In this study we have assessed the usefulness of histological staging in the prediction of recurrence. We have also verified whether there is a correlation between histological ... Read more...

Digital neuropathy of the median and ulnar nerves caused by Dupuytren's contracture: Case report.

29 Jun 2009 INTRODUCTION: Digital neuropathy is a pure sensory neuropathy of a digital nerve. It may be caused by acute or chronic local trauma or pressure, or accompany systemic illnesses such as rheumatoid disease, leprosy, Raynaud disease, dysproteinemia, or ... Read more...

Type-1 Collagen differentially alters beta-catenin accumulation in primary Dupuytren's Disease cord and adjacent palmar fascia cells.

17 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Dupuytren's Disease (DD) is a debilitating contractile fibrosis of the palmar fascia characterised by excess collagen deposition, contractile myofibroblast development, increased transforming growth factor-beta levels and beta-catenin ... Read more...
