A member asked:
I recently had a toe amputated after an injury and have now got dupuytrens in my right hand, could there possibly be a link to my toe amutation?

If you had: An injury, it sounds like that was the cause. I don't believe there is a link.

NO: There isn't a "link" between the two, but your original injury may have produced the set of circumstances that lead to the contracture.

No: Dupuytren's is a hereditary disease and has nothing to do with the toe amputation.
