Needle Aponeurotomy (NA) is an in-office procedure for patients with Dupuytren’s Contracture. This is a non-surgical option which has a quicker recovery than surgery. There are less complications and risks with NA compared to surgery. However, the results from NA do not typically last as long as surgery, and the NA procedure often is repeated 3-5 years in the future. Not all patients are good candidates for NA. Collagenase injections are also non-surgical treatment for Dupuytrens and are available at Raleigh Hand to Shoulder Center.
