Late complications of clinical clostridium histolyticum collagenase use in Dupuytren's disease.

<h4>Introduction</h4>While Dupuytren's disease can cause disabling contractures requiring open surgery, a less-invasive option using Clostridium Histolyticum collagenase (CHC) via percutaneous injection was recently reported. A recent prospective, randomized trial demonstrated few c...
