AB A  53-year-old  man  presented  with  stiffness  in  his  hands.  He  said  his  hands  began  to  feel  stiff  several  years  ago,  and  now  he  finds  that  he  cannot  straighten  many  of  his  fingers  (Figure  109-1).  He  delayed  seeing  a  physician  because  he  did  not  feel  any  pain  in  his  hands.  He  recently  began  having  difficulty  holding  his  woodworking  tools  and  wants  to  regain  the  function  he  has  lost  in  his  hands.  The  physician  diagnosed  him  with  Dupuytren  contracture  and  discussed  the  disease  with  him  along  with  his  options  for  treatment.
