Alcohol use
The people who frequently drink alcohol are more prone to get Dupuytren’s contracture. The frequent use of alcohol adversely affects the digital and palmar fascia, thus causing progressive fibrotic disorder. The actual cause of alcohol abuse leading to the development of Dupuytren’s contracture is not known, but the etiology of the condition reveals the occurrence of the condition in alcoholics. The frequent use of alcohol greatly dysfunctions the vascular function and causes abnormalities in the contraction of muscle fibers. The chances of alcoholics are almost 28 per cent higher than those of non-alcoholics to get the condition of Dupuytren’s contracture.
