This study identifies four miracle cures set in Orkney and Iceland in the 12th and 13th Centuries and recorded in the sagas of the earls of Orkney and the bishops of Iceland, in which the condition of the hand which was healed bears a resemblance to Dupuytren's disease. The possibility that one hand was cured by traumatic rupture of this condition and another treated by palmar fasciotomy is discussed.
本研究确定了12世纪和13世纪在奥克尼群岛和冰岛出现的四种神奇疗法，并记录在奥克尼伯爵和冰岛主教的传奇故事中，其中治愈的手部病症与杜普伊特伦挛缩症相似。文中讨论了一种情况是通过这种病症的外伤性破裂治愈一只手，另一种情况是通过掌腱膜切开术治疗的可能性。
