The most frequently digital cords in the Dupuytren’s disease are the central, spiral, and lateral. All these cords are responsible for flexion deformity of the PIP joint, but they do not reach the distal phalanx and the DIP joint remains unaffected. We report a patient with Dupuytren’s disease limited to the middle and distal phalanges and involving solely the DIP joint of the little finger.
