ABSTRACT
Collagenase injections are used as a minimally invasive treatment for Dupuytren contracture of the palm and fingers, with good published success. Most complications are related to injection-site swelling, pain, and ecchymosis. However, the risk of flexor tendon and digital nerve injury can occur when injecting cords that cause proximal interphalangeal joint contractures. In addition, poor localization and incorrect injection of the solution into cords may result in an incomplete correction. We describe a technique to improve visualization and isolation of Dupuytren cords using a tongue depressor.
