Abstract
Dupuytren’s disease can either progress slowly, being interrupted by phases of stagnation, or it can cause contracture-induced dislocations of the digital joints within a short time (MILLESI, 1959, 1965; MIKKELSEN, 1977). This is dependent on a person’s individual disposition (STRICKLAND et al., 1990).
