Final answer:

The neurovascular bundle in the spiral cord of Depuytren's contracture is displaced medially.

Step-by-step explanation:

The neurovascular bundle in the spiral cord of Depuytren's contracture is displaced medially.

This means that it is shifted towards the midline of the body.

Depuytren's contracture is a condition where the tissues in the palm of the hand become thick and tight, causing the fingers to curl inward. The displacement of the neurovascular bundle medially is a result of this tissue thickening and tightening.
