Welcome

Welcome to Dupuytrens.co.uk.  This site aims to be the one stop website for British Dupuytrens information.  Please feel free to look around and contact us if you want more information.

What is Dupuytrens?

• Dupuytrens is a condition characterised by fibrosis of the palmar aponeurosis leading to contracture of the fingers
• Surgery has been the standard treatment for many years but realisation that the results of surgery are not as good for the patient as many of us have thought has lead to an increasing interest in alternative treatments both medical and non medical.  Here we will try to give you the lowdown on all the treatments available and tell you if they are safe or not.
• If you want surgery or another form of treatment, we can direct you to the relevant local person or arrange treatment for you at our clinic in Derby.
