Description

Sufficient correction of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint during the PNF treatment, defined as <20° passive extension deficit (PED), is a prerequisite for inclusion.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Dupuytren contracture (DC) of ≥ 20° PED in MCP joint measured with a goniometer
  • DC of either II-V finger
  • Well-defined/palpable cord

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Legally incapacitated
  • Previous study inclusion with another finger ray
  • Isolated proximal interphalangeal (PIP) or distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint contracture, defined as MCP joint contracture < 20° PED regardless of the deficit in the PIP or DIP joint
  • Previous hand surgery of the affected finger for any reason
  • Known allergy to the study medication
  • Anticoagulant therapy (Acetylsalicylic acid is NOT an exclusion criterion)
  • Pregnant or lactation
  • Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
  • Ongoing systemic infection or local infection at the site of the procedure
