AbstractDupuytren’s disease is typically observed in adults, in children and adolescents being rarely diagnosed. Only several cases were reported in children under the age of 10 years, including two infants under one year. There were no such reports in Polish literature. We presented a case of Dupuytren’s disease in a 17 year-old adolescent, in whom the first signs of the disease were observed in early childhood.

Dupuytren’s disease is a benign fibromatosis that mainly involves the fascia of the palm and digits. The relationship between Dupuytren’s disease and the evolution of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is still unclear. Here we report the case of a 52-year-old female with squamous cell carcinoma arising from the ulcer of the lesions of Dupuytren’s disease on the left palm. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the English literature of squamous cell carcinoma on the palm of someone with Dupuytren’s disease.

In patients presenting to our unit with recurrent or aggressive Dupuytren's disease (DD), we favour the technique of radical excision and resurfacing popularised by Logan, who has described its use for the ulnar two digits of the hand at the same operation.1 In patients in whom dermofasciectomy may be indicated in three or more digits, we have previously advised patients that the quality of the surgical attention and the post-operative physiotherapy might be better delivered by a staged approach. However, we demonstrate here with a case report that the technique can have excellent outcome when used for three digits at the same time. We are unaware of similar previous reports.

In burn patients, scar contractures adjacent to or across the joints lead to disabling deformities. In Dupuytren's disease, the proliferative process involves the fascia of the palm and fingers, resulting in disabling flexion contractures of the fingers and the palm. A single insult involving the hand or even a more proximal injury may lead to Dupuytren's disease.

A typical case of Dupuytren's contracture confined to the interphalangeal joints of the right little finger, occurred in a 79-year-old man. No past history of risk factors or family history of Dupuytren's disease could be detected. Excisions of the abnormal cords lead to good clinical outcome.

Dupuytren’s disease is an acute and multifaceted problem that affects not only medicine but also psychology, social life, since a person who has lost the ability to perform his/her socially significant functions experiences moral and physical suffering. From the first description of Dupuytren’s disease to the present, questions of etiology, pathogenesis, classification, treatment methods, and features of the preventive measures of this disease remain debatable. Therefore, the main goal of the paper was to analyze the technology for predicting the functional state of the hand after surgical treatment of Dupuytren’s disease (contracture). The study was conducted at the Department of Hand Microsurgery of the Republican Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan. The total number of patients under observation was 258, age 21-80 years. The research results were grouped into 6 combinations. It has been determined that three groups of factors affect the recovery degree: A (gender, age, examination period, severity); B (place of residence, physical and mental work, bad habits); C (surgeon's experience, types of operations, anaesthesia, section, skin plastic, reconstructive treatment, healing, etc.). It has been found that it is possible to achieve full restoration of the function of the wrist on the right hand in 67.5% of patients and on the left hand in 59.9% of patients in periods of more than one year.
