Nine hundred and nineteen patients attending orthopaedic clinics in the rural areas of the Cotswolds and Chilterns were examined for evidence of Dupuytren's contracture. Five per cent of men and 3.5 per cent of women showed evidence of the disease which was largely bilateral but confined to the palm in forty per cent of men and eighty per cent of women. A positive correlation between repeated stretching of the palmar fascia and the presence of Dupuytren's contracture confined to the palm was established.
对科茨沃尔德和奇尔特恩斯农村地区骨科诊所的919名患者进行检查，以寻找杜普伊特伦挛缩症的证据。5%的男性和3.5%的女性有该疾病的迹象，该病大多为双侧性，但40%的男性和80%的女性病变局限于手掌。掌腱膜反复拉伸与局限于手掌的杜普伊特伦挛缩症之间存在正相关。
