I got something in my eye!
This shows how Dupuytren can ruin someone's life, and how much treatment can help them.
Well done Pulvertaft and Ms O'Brien especially. #Dupuytrens #DupuytrenContracture #Pulvertaft

That was a hefty dose of Dupuytrens, especially for someone who is only 44. We wish Ricky "Hitman" Hatton MBE a good recovery, and hope the disease stays away a long time.

I watched yesterday's Pulvertaft Webinar on "why hand surgery is a failure" by our trustee Prof Dom Furniss. I highly recommend it if you want to hear about his research! The Dupuytren part starts at 29 minutes in, but the thumb osteoarthritis and carpal tunnel/ trigger finger research he explains before that is also fascinating.

So maybe our sweat glands play a role? But I am not sure how many sweatglands there are the sole of the foot or the skin of the penis, so I suspect it is only part of the story.
