Hand/Pinky Injury or Dupyutren's Contracture

I am in my late 20's and have a cord going up to my pinky finger that I can feel and a small bump in the palm but no finger curving and I can straighten my finger. I broke my pinky and tore some tendons in it about 10 years ago and it was unable to straighten it until I had physical therapy. My finger was bent for several years before I treated the injury. I know I am very young for dupyturen's so is it possible for a traumatic finger injury like that to cause some problems in the hand that resemble duyutren's in one finger?
