{Abstract}: Background: In patients with a high recurrence risk after treatment for Dupuytren contracture (DC) by Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH), adjuvant medical therapy may improve the outcome. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been used in the treatment of similar fibroproliferative processes. The aim of this study was to investigate if adjuvant anti-inflammatory medication could improve the outcome of CCH treatment for DC. Methods: In a prospective double blinded randomised trial, the effect of adjuvant peroral celecoxib on the outcome of DC treated with CCH was investigated in 32 patients with a high fibrosis diathesis. Primary outcome was the increase in Total Passive Extension Deficit (TPED)/ray. Secondary outcomes were the TPED of the individual finger joints, Tubiana index, Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand score (DASH) and visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and satisfaction. Results: A significantly greater improvement in the celecoxib group for TPED and metacarpophalangeal contracture was found. For the proximal interphalangeal joint, the effect was much less pronounced. The VAS for pain and satisfaction were better at 6 and 12 weeks in the celecoxib group. The other outcome parameters did not significantly differ between both groups. Conclusions: Adjuvant peroral administration of celecoxib might improve the gain in TPED after treatment with CCH in patients with DC and a high fibrosis diathesis, with a beneficial effect up to 24 months. Level of Evidence: Level II (Therapeutic).
