I had an injection done on one finger to fix dupuytrens six years ago. Get shot one day, then two days later the doc' snaps the contraction. Good to go the same day.. With surgery it would be a month or more.

Effective but may or may not be a permanent fix.

The co-pay for the prescription (for the shot) was about $2000.00.
