Xiaflex Injections
Dr Richard Gilbert is one of the select hand surgeons in New York City authorized to administer Xiaflex ™ injections for the non-operative treatment of Dupuytren’s contractures. Xiaflex ™ was recently FDA-approved as the only nonsurgical treatment for adults with symptomatic Dupuytren’s contracture.
Xiaflex ™ involves giving one or two injections in the doctor’s office and then manipulating the affected digit the day after the injection. No anesthesia or incisions are required. The reported results are as good or better than surgery, with a minimal risk for minor complications. There is no prolonged recovery, and there is usually no need for postoperative hand therapy.
If you suffer from Dupuytren’s disease, ask Dr. Gilbert if you are a candidate for this exciting new treatment.
