However, the terms \u201cCline\u2019s contracture\u201d and \u201cCooper\u2019s contracture,\u201d named after the two surgeons who proposed the treatment for the palmar contractures prior to Dupuytren, have also been used to describe the disease. In addition to the eponyms attributed to these three surgeons, a number of other appellations with interesting provenance exist for Dupuytren\u2019s disease including the \u201cCurse of the MacCrimmons,\u201d \u201cCeltic hand,\u201d \u201cViking\u2019s disease,\u201d and the \u201cHand of Benediction.\u201d These terms all have interesting provenance; however, contention exists with regard to the appropriateness of their coinage. Of these terms, the \u201cHand of Benediction\u201d is based upon the oldest history, supposedly thought to be a result of an early Pope afflicted with Dupuytren\u2019s disease. This report suggests that Dupuytren\u2019s disease was recorded in history prior Christianity, the Vikings, as well as Dupuytren, Cline, and Cooper. Nearly 100 votive \u201cHand of Sabazios\u201d artifacts from Antiquity appear to document Dupuytren\u2019s disease via sculpture. The report posits that Dupuytren\u2019s disease may have been represented by the \u201cHand of Sabazios,\u201d subsequently inspiring the \u201cHand of Benediction\u201d and \u201cHand of God\u201d that has permeated Christian art and culture for thousands of years.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218810417970012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,4]],"date-time":"2017-08-04T07:21:47Z","timestamp":1501831307000},"page":"403-410","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Hand of Sabazios: Evidence of Dupuytren\u2019s Disease in Antiquity and the Origin of the Hand of Benediction"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Matthew J.","family":"Zdilla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, West Liberty University, West Liberty, WV, USA"},{"name":"Department of Graduate Health Sciences, West Liberty University, West Liberty, WV, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"p_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0266-7681(88)90078-2"},{"key":"p_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-0712(21)00435-2","volume":"15","author":"Elliot D","year":"1999","journal-title":"Hand Clin."},{"key":"p_7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.44B3.602"},{"key":"p_8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08998280.2001.11927791"},{"key":"p_9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jhsu.2002.32334"},{"key":"p_10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10067-003-0704-7"},{"key":"p_11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2474-5-10"},{"key":"p_12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0266-7681(93)90123-W"},{"key":"p_13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0895-4356(99)00145-6"},{"key":"p_14","first-page":"153","volume":"24","author":"Arkkila PE","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Rheumatol."},{"key":"p_15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclinepi.2003.11.015"},{"key":"p_16","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"585","DOI":"10.1590\/S0004-282X1998000400011","volume":"56","author":"de Freitas MR","year":"1998","journal-title":"Arq Neuropsiquiatr."},{"key":"p_18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.88B3.17100"},{"key":"p_20","first-page":"81","volume":"58","author":"Lowe D","year":"2012","journal-title":"Vergilius."},{"key":"p_23","first-page":"51","volume":"47","author":"Millesi H.","year":"1965","journal-title":"Ergeb Chir Orthop."},{"key":"p_24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01275950"},{"key":"p_25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.332.7538.397"},{"key":"p_27","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-0712(21)00439-X","volume":"15","author":"Ross DC","year":"1999","journal-title":"Hand Clin."},{"key":"p_28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2006.09.006"},{"key":"p_29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.2.2270.8"},{"key":"p_30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2004.04.006"},{"key":"p_36","first-page":"18","volume":"18","author":"Angel JL","year":"1946","journal-title":"Am J Gerontology."},{"key":"p_37","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14310\/horm.2002.1111041"},{"key":"p_41","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuron.2013.09.019"},{"key":"p_44","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1987.00370060061012"},{"key":"p_46","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2013-004214"},{"key":"p_47","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0017816000025037"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Hand Surgery (Asian-Pacific Volume)"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1142\/S0218810417970012","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,31]],"date-time":"2022-07-31T20:00:52Z","timestamp":1659297652000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1142\/S0218810417970012"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,4]]},"references-count":27,"journal-issue":{"issue":"03","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,4]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1142\/S0218810417970012"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1142\/s0218810417970012","relation":{},"ISSN":["2424-8355","2424-8363"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2424-8355","type":"print"},{"value":"2424-8363","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,4]]}}}
