The current state of knowledge of Dupuytren’s disease is rather like a complex jigsaw puzzle, many pieces of which have been gathered in many countries, but exactly where each fits into the finished puzzle is not clear. Some may not even belong to this particular puzzle. At present there are some theories and some science, with some correlation, but there is still some way to go.

Calcium-dependent signaling in Dupuytren's disease.
BACKGROUND Previous studies suggest that Dupuytren's disease is caused by fibroblast and myofibroblast contractility. Cell contractility in smooth muscle cells is caused by calcium-dependent and calcium-independent signaling mechanisms. In the calcium-dependent pathway, calcium/calmodulin activates myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). In this study, the effects of calcium/calmodulin inhibition wit...

متن کاملGeneration of contractile force by cultured Dupuytren's disease and normal palmar fibroblasts.
Contractile fibroblasts are believed to be responsible for palmar fascia contracture in Dupuytren's Disease. An in vitro collagen lattice model was used to examine the contractile properties of Dupuytren's fibroblasts from 10 patients undergoing partial fasciectomy, and palmar fascia fibroblasts from 6 patients undergoing carpel tunnel release.

METHODS The study was a part of ...
متن کاملDupuytren's contracture as result of prolonged administration of phenobarbital.
Dupuytren's disease is a fibroproliferative condition involving the superficial palmar fascia, leading to a progressive and irreversible flexion of the fingers. In literature, there are different opinions regarding the phenobarbital, a common antiepileptic drug, and its effective role in the genesis and development of Dupuytren's disease. In this retrospective investigation the association betw...
متن کاملA high prevalence of Dupuytren's disease in Flanders.
Dupuytren's disease has been the subject of numerous epidemiological surveys attempting to expand our knowledge on its origin and spread. In Flanders, although numerous studies on surgical outcome have been reported, information on prevalence of Dupuytren's disease is lacking. Therefore, Flanders' population in a non-hospital environment was studied by a clinical evaluation performed by a singl...
