Abstract

Clostridium histolyticum collagenase injection is a mini-invasive and new treatment for Dupuytren’s disease. It is used in the USA and in Europe as an alternative treatment to partial fasciectomy (Gilpin et al., J Hand Sur 35:2027–2038, 2010; Pajardi et al., Riv Chir Mano 50:5, 2013; Badalamente and Hurst, J Hand Surg Am 32:767–774, 2007; Thomas and Bayat, Therap Clin Risk Manag 6:557–572, 2010; Peimer et al., J Hand Surg 38:12–22, 2013)).

Upper limb surgery usually needs specifically rehabilitation and this technique too.

Edema, pain, hematoma, skin laceration, and even joint’s stiffness are some of the principal symptoms that patients normally have. Especially in these cases, it is important to take charge of the patient as soon as possible to have a better result.

The aim of this chapter is to show our rehabilitation approach after enzymatic fasciectomy for Dupuytren’s disease (Dupuytren, Lancet 2:222–225, 1834; Burge, Hand Clinics 15:63–71, 1999; Beck, Monatschr Unfallheilkd 57: 69–82, 1954)).
