J Hand Surg Am. 2007 Mar;32(3):352-4. doi: 10.1016/j.jhsa.2006.10.008.

Abstract

There is a well-established association with ectopic fibrosis in Dupuytren's disease, but involvement of the wrist is rare. To our knowledge there have been only 5 cases reported in the literature. The authors present a patient with Dupuytren's disease involving only the proximal palm and wrist who presented with functional limitation and a rapid clinical progression.
