The Role of Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum in Dupuytren’s Disease: A Syst...
Moreira Sousa, Rui; Rego Diniz, João; Serviço de Medicina Física e de Reabilitação, Centro Hospitalar do Tâmega e Sousa, Guilhufe, PortugalIntroduction: Dupuytren’s disease (DD) is a benign and progressive fibroproliferative disease that involves the palmar fascia, where collagenous cords form from the overlay of nodular fibrotic tissue. Clostridium histolyticum collagenase (CHC) is a minimally invasive option for the treatment of advanced DD. CHC allows collagen lysis, leading to the rupture of fibrous cords. This review aims to reflect on the ex...
