Myofibroblasts and the pathogenesis of Dupuytren's disease

2010-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Dupuytren’s disease is defined in Green’s Operative Hand Surgery as a condition of the hand characterised by the development of new tissue in the form of nodules and cords. Hand function can be significantly impaired and whilst the mainstay of treatment is surgery, recurrence has been reported in approximately 40-50% of patients. Myofibroblasts are central to the pathogenesis of Dupuytren’s disease although what r...
