Dupuytren’s hands in cross stitch | The British Dupuytren's Society

In April 2023, Anna Schurer decided to create some cross stitch pictures of Dupuytren’s hands. An appeal for pictures that could be used went out on Facebook, and patients were hapy to provide pictures. The resulting pieces will be shown here.

The plan is that they will be send out to hand units in the UK that deal with Dupuytren’s disease, to remind everyone that there is a Dupuytren’s Society.

As the pictures are ready and send out, they will be shown on this page.
