Core Tip
Core tip: This is a retrospective study comparing the incidence of quick development of Dupuytren’s contracture (less than 5 years) and peculiarities of palmar hypodermal tissue vascularization and microcirculation in two age groups of patients undergoing partial fasciectomy. The quantitative characteristics of palmar fascia perforating arteries remodeling, the hypodermal adipose tissue vascularization, and skin microcirculatory flow in patients with Dupuytren’s contracture depending on age were represented for the first time. In patients younger than 55 years, the incidence of rapidly progressive contracture was two, nine times less than that in the older group. Both age groups were characterized with constrictive arterial remodeling, especially the younger group, but quantitative signs of compensatory capillaro- and arteriologenesis were more prominent in the younger group.
