Dupuytren contracture is a hand condition that gradually affects finger movement, making it difficult to fully straighten one or more fingers. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential to restore hand function and prevent progression.
Dr. Ammara Rabbani, an experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Lahore, offers advanced treatment options for Dupuytren contracture, focusing on improving hand mobility and overall quality of life.
What Is Dupuytren Contracture?
Dupuytren contracture is a condition in which the connective tissue under the skin of the palm thickens and tightens over time. This leads to the formation of cords that pull the fingers inward, most commonly affecting the ring and little fingers.
The condition develops gradually and may initially appear as small nodules in the palm.
Causes and Risk Factors
The exact cause of Dupuytren contracture is not fully understood, but several risk factors are associated with the condition:
- Genetic predisposition
- Age (more common after 40)
- Male gender (though females can also be affected)
- Diabetes
- Smoking and alcohol use
Early recognition of Dupuytren contracture helps in timely management.
Symptoms of Dupuytren Contracture
Common symptoms of Dupuytren contracture include:
- Thickened skin or nodules in the palm
- Formation of tight cords under the skin
- Difficulty straightening fingers
- Reduced hand function
- Gradual bending of one or more fingers
Symptoms typically progress slowly over time.
When Is Treatment Needed?
Treatment for Dupuytren contracture is recommended when finger movement becomes restricted and interferes with daily activities.
Early stages may be monitored, but advanced cases often require intervention to restore function.
Treatment Options for Dupuytren Contracture
Treatment options for Dupuytren contracture include:
Non-Surgical Treatment

Dr. Ammara Rabbani provides tailored treatment plans based on severity and patient needs.
