Abstract

Twelve month minimum follow-up was available for 19 Oriental Jewish patients who underwent surgery for Dupuytren's disease over a 10-year period. In this population, the disease is uncommon. The initial deformity, operative findings and results of surgery were similar to those described for North European Caucasian patients. Possible factors that may result in a low genetic predisposition to Dupuytren's disease amongst Jews are discussed.
