Dupuytren's contracture is a hand condition causing fingers to bend inward. Treatments include needle aponeurotomy, where a doctor inserts a thin needle into the cord under the skin to break it up, or collagenase injections that soften the tissue, allowing straightening of the finger. Surgical options like fasciectomy remove the affected tissue.

Dupuytren's contracture is a hand condition causing fingers to bend inward. US treatments include needle aponeurotomy, collagenase injection, and surgery. Needle aponeurotomy involves using a thin needle to cut the affected cord. Collagenase injection dissolves the cord, allowing straightening. Surgery involves removing the thickened tissue.
Advanced cases may require multiple treatments or complications. Splints often prescribed post-procedure. Waiting times can range from a few weeks to several months.
