Abstract:
The anatomy of the palmar and digital fascia is discussed as it pertains to Dupuytren's disease. Beginning with the premise that the diseased cords arise from preexisting normal fascial bands, the cause of contracture at each joint and the mechanism of displacement of the neurovascular bundle are explained.
