Abstract
There is a well-established association with ectopic fibrosis in Dupuytren's disease, but involvement of the wrist is rare. To our knowledge there have been only 5 cases reported in the literature. The authors present a patient with Dupuytren's disease involving only the proximal palm and wrist who presented with functional limitation and a rapid clinical progression.
