2. Three dimensional scaffold
This scaffolding
Anchors the skin to hand skeleton
Redistributes shear forces on palm
Resists tissue translation for a secure grip

Superficial layer
Intermediate layer
Deep layer

Men are more affected than women
Onset is common in the sixth decade of life
Genetic involvement?
Positive associations have been reported with DM, HIV, hypercholesterolemia,
hypertriglyceridemia, alcohol consumption and smoking

of DD can be divided into three
stages
Proliferative stage

collagen.
Increase in ratio of type III to type I
collagen

14. Detailed history
special attention should be given to history for Dupuytren diathesis
Family history
Environmental factors
Examination
Presence of any prominent nodules
Presence of cords
Measurements of contractures

24. Requires more extensive dissection of diseased fascia and release of contracture
Operation commences with elevation of skin edges
Non diseased sub cutaneous tissue left on the skin flap helps preserve blood
supply
Dissection of cords proceed from proximal to distal
Excision of diseased fascia should proceed until all contractures are released
Skin closure can be performed by z-plasties, V-Y advancement flaps
If closure is not possible, skin grafting can be performed

to heal on basis of daily dressings

28. In this technique, the disease as well as the overlying skin is excised and a full-
thickness skin graft is used to resurface the defect.
Skin graft will act as a barrier and prevent recurrence of the disease
There is complete excision of the diseased tissue to resurface scarred and fibrotic
skin

29. It will stretch the shortened soft tissue, such as neurovascular bundles and
collateral ligaments
Distraction devices, such as the digit widget, use skeletally anchored hardware to
provide soft tissue distraction
Afterward, a limited fasciectomy or dermatofasciectomy can be performed.
Device can be applied under digital block, and extension can be achieved by 05
weeks

infiltrating the area with autologous lipo infilterate.
Fat graft may reduce myofibroblast density and cell-cell contact, prevent
recurrence by replacing the deficient sub dermal fat.
