However, some risk factors have been identified. Genetic predisposition seems to play a role in the development of the condition, as Dupuytren\u2019s tends to run in some families. Northern European ancestry is also a risk factor, some hypothesise that the prevalence of the deformity in certain areas could be explained Viking migration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dupuytren\u2019s contracture forms due to the benign tumour of the palmar fascia. The contracture first presents as a thickening or nodule in the palm, which is usually painless. After a while, these nodules form a thick cord which in later stages starts to gradually contract the finger(s) inwards towards the palm. In most cases finger the ring finger is affected, followed by the little finger, and sometimes the middle finger. Often both hands are affected, but the contracture is usually more advanced on the dominant hand.<\/p>\n<p>It typically develops in men around the age of 30-40.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is evidence that Dupuytren\u2019s contracture is more likely to develop in people who have <a href=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/en\/?p=3252\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">diabetes<\/a>, smoke, drink, patients with epilepsy and those who have previously suffered trauma to the hand. The disease is progressive, without treatment it gets gradually worse until the patient is no longer able to use the affected fingers at all.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"color: #0e1b8d;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >What are the symptoms of Dupuytren\u2019s contracture?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dupuytren\u2019s contracture has different symptoms at each stage. The condition usually begins as a thickening of the skin on the palm. As it progresses, the skin can appear puckered or dimpled. A firm lump of tissue may develop which may be sensitive to the touch but usually not painful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the next stage, cord-like lumps of tissue form under the skin of the palm which can extend up to the fingers. As these cords gradually tighten, the range of movement of the fingers becomes more and more limited. Most patients visit an orthopedic specialist at this stage. In more advanced stages of the disease, the fingers might be pulled inwards towards the palm. In some cases the fingers stop moving altogether.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dupuytren\u2019s contracture develops slowly, over several years, but it is difficult to predict how the condition will progress. Some people have only small lumps or cords while others go on to develop severely bent fingers.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"color: #0e1b8d;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >How can Dupuytren\u2019s contracture be diagnosed?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A physical examination is sufficient to diagnose Dupuytren\u2019s contracture. <span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b ChMk0b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hu\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">An orthopaedic specialist or hand surgeon can diagnose the lesion after visual inspection and palpation, no other examination is usually needed to establish the diagnosis.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"color: #0e1b8d;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >How can Dupuytren\u2019s contracture be treated?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The treatment of Dupuytren\u2019s contracture depends on the stage of the condition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At an early stagae, if the hand function is good and the lumps are not causing any pain or inconvenience, observation is enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Steroid injections may help reduce the inflammation.
