Abstract
Skoog and others have concluded that the Skoog fibres, or transverse ligament of the palmar aponeurosis (TLPA), are never involved in the Dupuytren's disease process. Here we present a case in which this clearly occurs. Whilst for the vast majority of Dupuytren's cases the Skoog's fibres delineate the required deep extent of dissection for pretendinous cords, this case proves an exception, highlighting an occasional need to beware of accepting the conventional wisdom.
