International Dupuytren Symposium |
| Miami Dupuytren Symposium |
In May 2010, the Dupuytren Foundation sponsored the 2010 International Symposium on Dupuytren's Disease in Miami, Florida. Co-hosted by the Dupuytren Foundation and the Dupuytren Society, this two day sold out event drew participants from fifteen countries. The symposium was organized to bring together research scientists and clinicians from a variety of fields to share their knowledge and to make plans to work together for better treatment options for Dupuytren's disease and related conditions. This productive and successful meeting was was the first such gathering of this scope and magnitude in twenty years, and plans are underway to organize the next.
