Dupuytren's Contracture - Nonsurgical Treatment with Collagenase Injections

Dupuytren’s Contracture develops when the fibrous tissue layer underneath the palm and fingers begins to thicken. Small bumps form under the skin may lead to the fingers contracting and curling in. While Dupuytren’s is a slow progressing condition, once it begins interfering with hand function, it is difficult to perform daily tasks and activities. There are both nonsurgical and surgical treatment options available for Dupuytren’s patients that can help slow the progression of the disease and improve motion in the affected fingers. Hand and upper extremity specialist, Dr. James Verheyden, at The Center in Bend, Oregon has been treating patients from around the country suffering from Dupuytren’s contracture. In this pre-recorded webinar, Dr. Verheyden addresses this painful condition and how his nonsurgical treatment technique using Ziaflex collagenase injections achieves effective symptom relief.
