Dupuytren’s contracture is a condition where one of your fingers is stuck in a bent position. This makes completing everyday tasks difficult. Though usually painless, it can be difficult to tolerate.
Dupuytren’s contracture occurs when tissue knots grow beneath the skin and form a firm cord along your finger. As a result, it affects your finger from retracting and extending.
As it progresses, the tissue cord tightens randomly, forcing your fingers back toward your palm.
Usually, the condition progresses through stages. At first, you might notice the skin on your palm feels slightly thicker.
