History of Dupuytren's disease

چکیده
The earliest reference that we found in the medical literature to the condition that ultimately came to be known as Dupuytren’s Disease was a report by Felix Plater in the 17 century. Plater described a stone mason with “contraction of the fingers of the left hand into the palm” [1]. However, he mistakenly attributed the condition to contracture of the tendons, rather than of the palmar fascia [1], an error that persisted for nearly 200 years.
