Guillaume Dupuytren, French Anatomist and Surgeon

Guillaume Dupuytren, Baron (1777-1835) was a French anatomist and military surgeon. Although he gained much esteem for treating Napoleon Bonaparte's hemorrhoids, he is best known today for Dupuytren's contracture or palmar fibromatosis, a fixed flexion contracture of the hand where the fingers bend towards the palm and cannot be fully extended (straightened). It is a inherited proliferative connective tissue disorder which involves the palmar fascia of the hand.
