Plater's description of Dupuytren's disease in 1614 is explained with regard to his understanding of the anatomy. The current view that Plater believed the disease to be caused by dislocation and shortening of the flexor tendons is based upon misinterpretation of the original Latin text. With the help of his anatomical studies, Plater had proven that subcutaneous ligamentous extensions of the palmar aponeurosis and not the flexor tendons were responsible for Dupuytren's disease. Felix Plater realised more than one hundred and fifty years before Cline, Cooper, and Dupuytren the palmar aponeurosis as the anatomical substrate of the disease.
普拉特于1614年对杜普伊特伦挛缩症的描述是基于他对解剖学的理解而作出的。目前认为普拉特认为该病是由屈肌腱脱位和缩短所致的观点，是基于对原始拉丁文本的错误解读。借助其解剖学研究，普拉特已证明掌腱膜的皮下韧带延伸而非屈肌腱是杜普伊特伦挛缩症的病因。费利克斯·普拉特在克莱恩、库珀和杜普伊特伦之前一百五十多年就认识到掌腱膜是该病的解剖学基础。
