AB Dupuytren  contracture  results  from  shortening  and  fibrotic  changes  in  the  subcutaneous  palm  tissue  and  longitudinal  bands  of  the  palmar  aponeurosis.  It  may  begin  as  a  nodule  and  then  progress  to  contracture  of  a  finger  or  fingers.  Usually,  this  is  noted  at  the  metacarpophalangeal  joint,  but  the  proximal  interphalangeal  (PIP)  or  distal  interphalangeal  (DIP)  joint  may  be  involved.
