Xiaflex Injections

Xiaflex is a drug that can be injected into fingers with Dupuytren’s disease or contractions as an alternative to surgery to counteract the symptoms, or effects, of the cord that is causing the problem.

If you can’t lay your hand flat on the table and have been diagnosed by one of our hand specialists with Dupuytren’s disease or contracture, you may be a candidate for Xiaflex injections.

Depending upon the individual, these injections work well to help straighten your finger.

These injections are done under local anesthesia in the office. Three days later, the hand is put under local anesthesia and a manipulation to extend the fingers is done. You can expect some swelling and bruising lasting one to two weeks after the injection.
