Treating Dupuytren's contracture?
People with Dupuytren's disease have trouble stretching their fingers. This is due to a connective tissue of the tendon plate in the hand. This white aponeurosis is located in the middle of the hand and because of this disease slowly contracts the flexor tendons of the fingers. Conservative treatment of Dupuytren works best through a combination of intensive physical therapy and the use of a finger splint . If it is not possible to treat this disease conservatively, there is still the option to opt for surgical treatment. A finger splint can be used both pre- and postoperatively! Inform a specialist about the possibilities.

The word Dupuytren literally means "contraction". Dupuytren's contracture involves a contraction of the fingers. This is due to a growth of connective tissue in the palm.
In most cases it is the ring finger and little finger that are affected.
It is striking that m. Dupuytren mainly occurs in white men older than 50 years. We do not know exactly where Dupuytren's contracture comes from. In most cases, the complaints arise gradually.

The fingers will warp and are difficult to stretch. Prevent the complaints from getting worse and use this night splint for Dupuytren preventively - at least during the night!
