Dupuytren's contracture with associated changes in the plantar aponeuroses and in the auricular conchae.
نویسنده
چکیده
The author reports a forty year old man presenting with Dupuytren's contracture affecting both hands, feet and auricular conchae. The patient is epileptic having been treated for twenty eight years with phenobarbitone and phenytoin. He had histologically proven Dupuytren's disease on both hands, but unfortunately no material was available from the ears. The follow up to date suggests that the auricular lesions have progressed slowly.

Biomechanical properties of normal tendons, normal palmar aponeuroses, and tissues from patients with Dupuytren's disease subjected to elastase and chondroitinase treatment.
Normal tendons, normal palmar aponeuroses and palmar aponeuroses from patients with Dupuytren's disease were subjected to elastase or chondroitinase treatment. Young's modulus was derived from the linear portion of stress-strain graph. It showed the lowest value for the apparently normal palmar aponeuroses and the highest value for tendon samples. Elastase treatment caused an increase of extens...

Normal tendons, normal palmar aponeuroses and specimens from patients with Dupuytren's disease, namely apparently normal palmar aponeuroses and contracture bands were subjected to elastase and chondroitinase ABC digestion. Maximum Young's modulus, normalized hysteresis loop and residual elongation were determined before and after enzyme treatment. In normal tendons, normal and apparently normal...

Objectives: Flexion contracture in fingers of hands is a complication of Dupuytren's contracture and cannot be stopped by the progressive course. The aim of this study was to review the effect of splinting in corrective of contracture after Dupuytren's contracture surgery. Methods: To carry out this research, a kind of systematic evidence-based review process (Duffy 2005) was used. For data...
متن کاملAssociation of Morbus Ledderhose with Dupuytren's contracture.
BACKGROUND Fibromatous nodules in the sole of the foot are often called Ledderhose disease. It is a benign nodular formation in the plantar aponeurosis, typically at the distal medial border. A lump forms and it can be a few centimeters in diameter. It is frequently seen as an isolated disease, but a relationship to Dupuytren's has been noted in some patients. METHODS The study was a part of ...
متن کامل[Plantar fibromatosis and Dupuytren's contracture in an adolescent].
BACKGROUND Fibromatosis represents a wide group of benign, locally proliferative disorders of fibroblasts. Dupuytren's disease is a benign proliferative disease of palmar aponeurosis which usually affects adults between 40 and 60 years of age. Ledderhose's disease or plantar fibromatosis is plantar equivalent of Dupuyten's disease most often affecting middle-aged and older men, usually bilatera...
