When I lived in Illinois, I was diagnosed with Dupuytren's contracture on my left hand pinkie. It developed slowly over several years. When it finally reached an inconvenient stage, I reviewed options with my doctor. Xiaflex injections were recommended over surgery. The injection process was very painful and did not completely straighten my pinkie but it was better. Unfortunately the process did not eliminate the contracture and it returned within two years time.
I had moved to Wisconsin in 2014 and when my conditioned worsened, I met with Dr. Scott Olvey of the Hand to Shoulder Center in early 2016. He reviewed my history and recommended surgery. The surgical procedure was completely successful and my finger is straight with no indication of the contracture returning.
Maybe I should have had the surgery the first time but I am thankful Dr. Olvey convinced me that the operation was the best alternative and now my hand is a good as ever.
