Join Dr. James Verheyden, hand and upper extremity orthopedic surgeon at The Center, as he explains his innovative SIMple injection technique for treating Dupuytren’s contracture. This approach offers a more effective, less costly solution with faster recovery times for patients.
Video Highlights:
Unlike the quick injection method commonly used, Dr. Verheyden spends 515 minutes on each injection. This detailed process ensures the enzyme is effectively delivered into the center of the Dupuytren cord, leading to better dissolution from inside out rather than outside in.
The followup manipulation procedure, typically done 24 hours postinjection is essential for disrupting any residual cord remnants. Dr. Verheyden's technique often results in instant and complete contracture correction, making it highly satisfying for both the surgeon and patient.
Dr. Verheyden shares his experience of treating thousands of patients with successful injections using this technique. Dr. Verheyden’s expertise in hand surgery and commitment to innovative treatments make this a mustwatch for healthcare professionals and patients.
