Abstract

To investigate complications and recurrence of Dupuytren's contracture following injectable collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) treatment through a systematic literature review and meta-analysis. A systematic literature review identified 14 studies that met inclusion criteria, 7 of which investigated complications and 7 of which investigated recurrence following CCH treatment. Studies included were identified from an existing systematic review. Studies excluded did not report complications or recurrences, had recurrence follow up periods of <12 months, or were retracted from publication. Dupuytren's contracture was defined as a fixed-flexion contracture of the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) or proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) of ≥20 in one or more non-thumb fingers. Clinical success was defined as a reduction in contracture ≤5 immediately following CCH treatment. Complications were reviewed in 1620 patients and 2591 joints (MCPJ=1201, PIPJ=1390) with a mean follow up of 6.9 months (SD=5.9). Initial MCPJ contractures were reduced from 47.4 (SD=4.4) to 7.5 (SD=0.5) within one month of CCH. 66.2% of MCPJs reached clinical success. Initial PIPJ contractures were reduced from 49.2 (SD=6.9) to 21.6 (SD=2.5) within one month of CCH. 28.4% of PIPJs reached clinical success. 55.2% of patients reported at least one treatment related adverse event: major events included tendon and pulley rupture (n=9; 0.56%), tendonitis (n=1, 0.06%), and anaphylaxis (n=1, 0.06%) while minor events affecting over 25% of patients included peripheral edema (90.3%), contusion (64.6%), extremity pain (30.6%), injection site pain (26.4%), and injection site hemorrhage (25.2%). Recurrences were reviewed 840 patients and 877 joints (MCPJ=609, PIPJ=268) with follow ups ranging 12 to 96 months. Initial MCPJ contractures were reduced from 48.3 (SD=7.0) to 22.8 (SD=34.8) within one month of CCH. 97.9% of MCPJs reached clinical success. Recurrences occurred in 197 (32.3%) of MCPJs. Initial PIPJ contractures were reduced from 43.9 (SD=8.7) to 15.7 (SD=6.9) within one month of CCH. 90.3% of PIPJs reached clinical success. Recurrences occurred in 126 (47.0%) of PIPJs. Interventions were performed in 15% of patients with recurrences. Trends in CCH outcomes, complications, and recurrences can be identified by systematic review. Meta-analyses will be performed to further investigate CCH therapy complications and recurrences.
