[Treatment of Dupuytren's disease with collagenase injections in Germany: efficacy and adverse effects in 110 treated joints].

Conclusion Our results are comparable with previous international studies. Very good success has been achieved with single injection treatment for high-grade preoperative contractures in MCP joints, while treatment success for combined contractures of MCP and PIP joints has been satisfactory. There have been no severe complications. Common adverse effects have been similar to previous studies. In our opinion, collagenase injection is a safe and efficient treatment for Dupuytren's disease. Further studies are needed to compare long-term efficacy with percutaneous needle aponeurotomy und partial fasciectomy. PMID: 28806826 [PubMed - in process]
