Popis: ABSTRACT Objectives: This study aims to report our experience with Clostridium Histolyticum collagenase (CCH) to support the importance of its clinical use and assess its clinical efficacy, complications, and recurrences. Methods: This prospective observational study of 66 patients with a 2-year follow-up. Patients with an extension lag major of 20° at the metacarpophalangeal joint (MPJ) and/or proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) were included. We collected data on demographic and anamnestic details, MPJ and PIPJ contracture degrees, DASH score, complications, and recurrences. Results: The mean pre-injection contracture was 34° for MPJ and 31° for PIPJ. At the 2-year follow-up, the mean contracture for the MPJ and PIPJ were respectively 3° and 14.5°. The mean DASH score decreased from 21.8 before injection to 10,4 after 2 years. The disease recurrence occurred in 34.8% of the patients, all with PIPJ contracture. The main complication was skin breakage (25.7%). Conclusion: The CCH injections remain a consistent option in treating DD; withdrawal from the European market deprives surgeons and patients of low invasiveness and safe tool for treating DD. Level of evidence IV, Therapeutic study investigating treatment results, Case series.
