Alternative Explanation
[edit]This condition has also been attributed to contracture of the palmar facia ("Cline-Dupuytrens Contracture") [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3049855] Jdagius (talk) 14:54, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
Ulnar nerve vs Median nerve
[edit]i understand the sentiment that st peter may have instead have been afflicted with ulnar nerve injury rather than median, but the description of this article makes absolutely no sense. the interossei muscles have very little influence on MCP extension and the real misunderstanding is that the hand of benediction is a flexion test while ulnar claw is an extension test. the FDP on the lateral hand is also nn by the median nerve, not the ulnar, hence the inability to flex the DIP joints of the 2nd and 3rd digits.
