Three cases of Dupuytrens contracture which developed in hands were reported along with review of literatures. Partial fasciectomy was done as the choice of treatment for them to improve impairment of function of the hands. No attributable causes for the developement of the disease were found.

Dupuytren’s disease (DD) is a heritable, benign, chronic fibroproliferative process which affects the connective tissue of the palmar fascia. DD is rare among Asians with a prevalence of 0.004 to 0.032 percent. There are only 74 cases of DD among Asians identified in literature, and there are no published cases from the Philippines. We discuss a rare case of DD in a 60-year-old male Filipino presenting with bilateral loss of range of motion of the middle, ring, and little finger of both hands.

Plantar fibromatosis is characterized by a nodular fibrous proliferation arising within the plantar aponeurosis. The tumor may be asymptomatic, but symptoms commonly include a painful mass, difficulty in fitting shoes and tenderness while weightbearing. Occasionally palmar and plantar fibromatosis affect the same patient. We report a case of plantar fibromatosis with Dupuytren's contracture in a 40-year-old man.

Plantar fibromatosis, otherwise known as Dupuytrens disease of the foot, is a relatively uncommon benign lesion. It is characterized by the replacement of elements of the plantar aponeurosis with fibrous tissue, which then slowly invades the skin and the deep structures. Generally an asymptomatic lesion, plantarfibrosis may occasionally cause foot pain. We recently experienced a case of painful plantar fibromatosis. On which a wide surgical excision was done. A one year postoperatively, follow-up examination revealed neither recurrence nor walking disability.

PURPOSE: This study reported the clinical results of partial fasciectomy on Dupuytren's contracture and evaluated the factors associated with progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 32 hands in 28 patients who had subtotal fasciectomy for Dupuytren's contracture from 1992 to 2007. We evaluated complications and clinical results by Honner's classification. Through telephone interviews, we checked the progression of contracture including recurrence and extension in twenty three patients with a mean postoperative period of 5.9 years. The relationship between progression and several factors were analyzed using statistical analyses. RESULTS: Clinical results were excellent in 13 cases, good in 12, fair in 4, and poor in 3. Progression rate was 48% (11patients). It occurred at operated fingers in 3 cases, non-operated fingers in 7 cases and both in 1 case. Progression was correlated with smoking and was more common in patients with bilateral disease, but not with alcohol, age or severity. Complications occurred in 4 patients (1 complex regional pain syndrome, 1 nerve injury and 2 delayed wound healing). CONCLUSIONS: Partial fasciectomy is a suitable method for Dupuytren's contracture. Complication rate is not high if careful operation is performed. However, progression is common in patients with bilateral disease or smoking habitus.
