Dupuytren's disease is often disabling and traditionally has been managed with various surgical methods, with recurrence rates up to 50 %. Recently clostridial collagenase injection has been licensed for use in the NHS. We prospectively analysed the results of clostridial collagenase injection in 62 patients with varying degrees of Metacarpo phalangeal (MCP) and Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint contractures. There were 48 males and 14 females with an average age of 66 years. The average MCPJ and PIPJ deformities were 33 and 17 degrees respectively. Following the infiltration and subsequent manipulation under local anaesthetic and night splinting for 3 months, patients were followed up at 4 weeks and 6 months. Deformities persisted in 5 patients and later required surgical correction. MCPJ deformities were more amenable for correction than PIPJ and in those with recurrence. The average residual deformity was 7 degrees. Common complications include bruising, swelling, pain not responding to routine analgesia, lymphangitis and skin break in some but none required any additional interventions. 14 patients had completed 6 month follow up and there was no recurrence. Subjective assessment through questionnaires revealed high patient satisfaction rate with early return to work within 1 week in most patients. Patients with previous operations preferred injections over operative correction. Collagenase injections are effective in deformity correction with higher satisfaction rate and low morbidity. Early results are encouraging but long term follow up is required to assess recurrence rates
