Football Legend John Elway Reveals He has Dupuytren's Contracture and Wants Others to Get the "Facts on Hand"
Dupuytren's contracture is a progressive hand condition that affects an estimated 16 million Americans. It is characterized by a buildup of collagen underneath the skin on the palms of the hand, causing one or more fingers to move into a bent position so they cannot be straightened. Because the condition can progress slowly, people may not pay attention to it until they can no longer straighten their fingers, complicating everyday activities – from writing one's name to shaking hands.
"My hands are everything to me, but when I was diagnosed with Dupuytren's contracture nearly 15 years ago, I waited to get treatment because I assumed surgery was my only option," said Elway. "I've joined the Facts on Hand campaign not only to raise awareness about Dupuytren's contracture by sharing my story, but to spread the word about available treatments. Some people also mistakenly believe that surgery is their only option – but that may not be true. That's why it's so important to have a conversation with a hand specialist."
Dupuytren's contracture can be mistaken for other conditions such as arthritis or trigger finger. Prior to the formation of a contracture, individuals may start to notice symptoms through the development of a lump or nodule on the palm. The condition most commonly impacts the ring and pinky finger and can occur in one or both hands.
