Early 1990 Introduction to Dupuytren's Disease/Dupuytren's Contracture

Early 1990's My family introduction to Dupuytren's Disease/Dupuytren's Contracture
Somewhere in the mid 1990's my dad was diagnosed with Dupuytren's Disease which developed into Dupuytren's Contracture.  He experienced the typical pain and eventually opted to have surgery in the late 1990's for his Dupuytren's Contracture on one hand.  The surgery failed.  He now has Dupuytren's Contracture in both hands.  Unfortunately this leaves him somewhat handicapped due to the limited use of his hands.  Now after over 20 years with this disease, he no longer experiences any pain but his palms are very dense/firm with nodules and cords.  http://www.dupuytrensdiseasesupport.com/what-is-ledderhose-disease.html
