Brief Answer:
Hand surgeon

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am not sure how can radiology help in Dupuytrens contracture ( I hope this is one you are talking about). This condition is mainly treated by surgical methods which are simple. It is releasing the contractions by incising the palmer fascia in the hand. Typically hand surgeons operate on these conditions.

You should find a hand surgeon (Orthopedic surgeon) in Iowa who can do this.
