People at Higher Risk of Developing Viking Finger Syndrome

Dupuytren’s disease, or Vikings, is a fibro-proliferative syndrome that includes collagen deposition, leading to hand contracture that affects mobility and grip strength. The symptoms of Dupuytren’s Contracture differ depending on the growth of the disease. In the early stages, you will notice the skin on your palm thickening. As it progresses, the condition of Viking finger syndrome will change noticeably. The thickened skin on the palm of your hand will become a hard lump. The tissue will begin to form cords that reach up through the palm to the fingers. As the cords tighten, they may cause the fingers to contract.

The following groups of people are at higher risk for developing Dupuytren’s disease.

Diabetics

Diabetes increases the risk of the condition. The longer you have diabetes, the greater the risk of developing Viking finger syndrome. The connection is probably due to the decreased blood supply to the hand fascia.

Family history

Dupuytren’s Contracture often runs in families. When positive family history is present, the disease is more likely to progress faster than usual.

Sex

Being a man greatly increases the risk for Dupuytren’s Contracture. It increases with age. According to various reports, almost 80% of people with this hand problem are between 40 and 70 years of age.

Smoking and drinking

Because of the microscopic changes within blood vessels caused by smoking, people who smoke and drink are at higher risk of Dupuytren’s Contracture.
