TLDR
Dupuytren's disease is a fascinating condition with a variable course and prognosis, andLimitations of treatment, especially in severe disease, should be recognised, thoroughly explained to patients and evaluated when implementing medical services.
Dupuytren’s disease therapy: targeting the vicious cycle of myofibroblasts?
TLDR
A new biological model for DD pathology is hypothesized, where myofibroblasts enhance the reservoir of the disease acting as if in a vicious cycle, which could help in identifying new therapeutic strategies to treat this common and disabling fibroproliferative disorder.

Clinical presentation and types of Dupuytren's disease.
TLDR
Observations by this author suggest that there are two distinct clinical entities responsible for palmar fascial contracture, namely typical Dupuytren's disease and atypical DupuyTren's contractures, which seem to differ in presentation, treatment, and prognosis.

TLDR
The results of these studies indicate that nonoperative collagenase injection therapy for Dupuytren's disease is both a safe and effective method of treating this disorder in the majority of patients as an alternative to surgical fasciectomy.
Dupuytren's Contracture in the Black Population: A Review
TLDR
The diathesis or predisposition for Dupuytren's contracture appears to be less extensive in the series of 8 black patients, and the epidemiological associations in the review are similar to that seen in the Caucasian population.
