Ok, so I'm changing my winter tires to summer tires with my father-in law. I notice a big "callous" on his hand and ask him about it. I then exam a little closer and see its more than just a callous. he then tells me his father had the same thing and his brother has it too!! ding, ding, I'm sure its Dupuytren's contracture. His case is mild, at this stage. Does cortisone intervention in the early stages improve outlook? he's still active and has no compaints about it. I presume surgery is in the future, but when. Any thoughts?
