Cost-Effectiveness and Patient Outcomes of Injectable Collagenase to Treat Dupuytren's Contracture.

Introduction Dupuytren's contracture is a disabling and progressive flexion contracture of the hand that is often treated by a surgical release. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum injection (CCH-I) was introduced to the UK in 2011 as an alternative and less invasive treatment for contracture. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of treating Dupuytren's contracture with collagenase compared to surgery.
