It’s called Dupuytren’s contracture and it’s found mostly in men over the age of 60-70, where in endemic regions such as in Scandinavia, approximately 30-40% of men over the age of 70 have it. It’s found all over the world, and the male:female ratio is around 3:1. It’s associated with several risk factors, but it has a strong genetic component, as it seems to accumulate in families. It’s a thickening of one of the two connective tissue sheaths in the palm of the hand. Typically, it affects the fourth finger first, where the finger contracts more and more due to the scar tissue tightening one or both tendons flexing the finger. Some eventually require surgery when the contracture interferes with everyday activities. Mainstay treatment when physiotherapy and stretching fails is surgical opening of the fascia (sheath). In the old days, collagenase enzymes were injected before the scar strings were pulled apart in local anesthesia was used as a treatment, but here in Europe its been discontinued due to frequent relapses, pain issues, fissures of the skin and deeper structures, etc.

My dad has had hand surgery for this and is now more or less unaffected by the condition. In Denmark we call it coachman hand though (kuskehånd). Because the tension makes the hand cramp together as if holding on tightly to horse reigns.

I’m British and I have it in both hands in identical location. The doctor advised I simply live with it, or have it treated, but it may return.

I am a Norwegian and I have it. Luckily it is possible to prevent it by daylight stretching the fingers. If it's goes too far it can be fix by surgery.

Dupuytren's Contracture (Medical name) is not directly linked to ’Vikings’ but is thought to be more common in people with Scandinavian and Northern European ancestry. Viking was a job title meaning ’seafarer/explorer/pirate’ depending on context. Not all Scandinavians were Vikings (obviously).

My husband was Norwegian. He had it. It affect the ring finger it contracts in towards the palm. Annoying but not fatal and easy to remedial. A hand surgeon releases the contracture. Nurse here: the hand is very complex only let a hand surgeon work in your hand. In the old days we called this Dupytrons contracture. The Vikings were here in Ireland and gifted it to us ☘️🪽
