Missing muscle may hold clue to bending fingers

NCT ID NCT06281509

Summary

This study investigated whether having a specific hand muscle, called the palmaris longus, is connected to Dupuytren's disease. Researchers compared 243 people aged 50 and over, some with the condition and some without, to see if the muscle was more common in those affected. The goal was to understand if this muscle could be a factor in why some people develop this hand condition.
