    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Orthopedics
    • Fibroproliferative diseases

    Background:

    • Dupuytren's disease involves progressive contracture of the palmar fascia.
    • Etiopathology remains largely unknown, but risk factors are identified.
    • This condition affects the fingers, leading to permanent flexion contracture.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the latest prospective pathogenesis of Dupuytren's disease.
    • To explore the underlying mechanisms contributing to disease development.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current literature on Dupuytren's disease pathogenesis.
    • Analysis of familial, racial, and physiological factors.
    • Prospective investigation of disease development.

    Main Results:

    • Identified familial, racial, and physiological factors associated with Dupuytren's disease.
    • Presented a prospective view on the disease's pathogenesis.
    • Highlighted the fibroproliferative nature of the condition.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding the pathogenesis is crucial for managing Dupuytren's disease.
    • Further research into prospective pathogenesis may reveal new therapeutic targets.
    • Familial, racial, and physiological factors play a role in disease development.
