What Are the Symptoms of Dupuytren’s Contracture?
December 8, 2015 by jointsurgery
- Symptoms of the disease start slowly. The first symptoms include firm nodules or bumps that form on the palm of the hand. Here’s what else you should know:
- Nodules may be tender at first, but they can become less painful as the disease progresses.
- Over time, thick bands of tissue form beneath the skin of the palm.
- In more severe cases, the fingers, especially the last two fingers, curl down into the palm and can’t be straightened.
- Symptoms can involve one or both hands and can range from just nodules to complete contraction of all the fingers.
