Transverse direction of nodule (perpendicular to common cords)

"..., and the proximal commissural ligament is an extension of the transverse ligament of the palmar fascia."



Does tightening of the transverse ligament exist?

My hand surgeon claims its really highly unusual or "not possible"

I can't find much documentation (mostly about the thumb ligaments or the superficial transverse ligaments (near the small webs between your fingers) and not about the deep transverse ligaments. (Between the two major crease lines in your palm.)

For more info read my (last) post.

Hand surgeon was very adamant, so lookin was wondering if ppl here have (not) heard of it.

Pitting and closure of the palm, yes, but whether that’s the transverse liagament as per your diagram is hard to say.

Re: Transverse direction of nodule (perpendicular to common cords)

Hey there! I have a nodule in right hand, with some puckering, and a partial cord growing toward the finger. Lately, I noticed a hardening of the tissue to the side of the nodule in between the right and little fingers. So it runs perpendicular to the nodule and cord.

Doesn't seem to make sense for the Dupuytren's symptoms, but it's there, nonetheless.
