The aim of this study was to determine whether recurrent Dupuytren’s disease after collagenase Clostridium histolyticum treatment differs histologically from recurrence in those treated with fasciectomy. We carried out a prospective cohort study of patients with Dupuytren’s disease who underwent fasciectomy to treat disease recurrence after previous treatment with collagenase Clostridium histolyticum or fasciectomy. The pathologists and statistician were blinded to the previous treatment. Longitudinal biopsy sections were stained with haematoxylin-eosin and the nodular zones were examined. Fifteen patients were studied: nine previously treated with collagenase Clostridium histolyticum and six previously treated with fasciectomy. There were no histological differences between the samples from the two groups of patients. Dupuytren’s disease recurrences after fasciectomy and collagenase Clostridium histolyticum are histologically indistinguishable.

The aim of this study was to report hand function, disability and satisfaction and patients’ perception of functionally troublesome contractures 5 years after injection with collagenase Clostridium histolyticum and hand therapy for Dupuytren's disease. Data from 79 patients were collected before and at 3, 12 and 60 months after treatment. Hand function was significantly improved, and 70% achieved a functional range of motion in the treated hand. QuickDASH scores and range of motion were best at 3 months follow-up. At 60 months, mean total extension deficit was 48°, which was 57% of the deficit before treatment. Thirty-seven patients (47%) had developed recurrent contractures in treated finger(s) meeting the criteria for new treatment. The threshold for functionally troublesome contractures was found to be 30°–60° in the finger joints. Treatment was experienced as painful, but few hand function problems occurred. Most patients would choose this treatment method again. Level of evidence: IV
