The correct answer is B - Dupuytren’s contracture, a condition that affects the hand and causes one or more fingers to bend inward toward the palm. The condition is caused by the thickening and tightening of the connective tissue (fascia) that lies just under the skin of the palm and fingers.

 The exact cause of Dupuytren’s contracture is unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors and is more likely to occur in men than women.

 Symptoms of Dupuytren’s contracture typically begin with small lumps or nodules that form in the palm, followed by thickening of the skin and tissue. Over time, the affected fingers may become stiff and difficult to straighten, and the palm may become puckered.

 Trigger finger is similar in presentation, except in Dupuytren’s active finger flexion remains complete but not so for a trigger finger.

Gout is unlikely to affect only one joint and is not associated with nodules.

Similarly, rheumatoid arthritis does not affect isolated joints and has many systemic components.
