“…Most patients in Study 3 received three injections of CCH. This is consistent with studies of CCH for Dupuytren's contracture [1,5,10] and in clinical trials of CCH for Peyronie's disease using multiple injections [3]. Compared with other clinical studies of conservative treatment of adhesive capsulitis [2,6,8,9,11], CCH injections in Study 3 allowed patients to achieve improved ROM, functional status, and pain relief in a shorter time.…”

Background Conservative and even surgical management of adhesive capsulitis often is prolonged and painful. Management of adhesive capsulitis is lacking evidencebased controlled clinical trials. Questions/Purposes We asked: (1) Does a collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) injection lyse shoulder capsule collagen in adhesive capsulitis and at what dose? (2) Can a shoulder capsule injection be administered extraarticularly? (3) Do CCH injections result in better scores for pain and function than can be achieved with physical therapy among patients with adhesive capsulitis?Methods First, 60 patients with adhesive capsulitis were evaluated by clinical examination. To make the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis, a patient had to have restricted active ROM of at least 60°in total active ROM in the affected shoulder compared with the unaffected contralateral shoulder; with the scapula stabilized, external rotation with the elbow at the side was a very important determinant. Patients were randomized to receive a single injection of 0.5 mL placebo or 0.145, 0.29, or 0.58 mg CCH. All 60 patients were followed up at 30 days. After that, if patients did not attain treatment thresholds they were eligible for up to five open-label 0.58-mg collagenase injections. For the longer-term followup in the open-label phase, 53 patients (83%) were followed to 12 months, 46 (77%) for 24 months, 36 (60%) for 36 months, 37 (62%) for 48 months, and 25 (42%) for 60 months. The extraarticular injection was directed at the anterior shoulder capsule with the patient in the supine position. To prove that these injections could be delivered reliably to the anterior shoulder capsule extraarticularly, the next study involved volunteers without adhesive capsulitis, in which 10 volunteers received a 10-mL injection of normal saline under ultrasound guidance. Finally, to determine the efficacy and dosing of CCH, four cohorts of 10 patients received up to three ultrasoundguided injections separated by 21 days. These injections were administered at one of four dose-volume levels. A fifth cohort of 10 patients was used as a control group and performed standardized home shoulder exercises only. All patients performed standardized home shoulder exercises three times daily. For Study 3, followup was at 22, 43, 64, and 92 days. No patients were lost to followup. Results In the first study, a single CCH injection did not provide clinically important improvements from baseline in active ROM, passive ROM, and function and pain scores compared with patients who received placebo.

Background Needle aponeurotomy and collagenase injection are alternative treatments of Dupuytren's contracture to open partial fasciectomy; however, reported data are difficult to interpret without a formal systematic review. Methods A Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane database search was performed, and 277 articles were identified. Articles were stratified by level of evidence, and those of the highest level for each technique were included. Evidence available for needle aponeurotomy was of low quality so only cohorts larger than 100 patients were included. Results The sample size of patients for open partial fasciectomy ranged from 37-261. The recurrence rate ranged from 12-39%, with mean follow-up time of 1.5-7.3 years. The complication rate ranged from 14-67%. Complications included nerve division (2-5%), infection (4-12%), neurapraxia (0.4-52%), and regional pain syndrome (2-13%). For needle aponeurotomy the sample size ranged from 117-211. The recurrence rate ranged from 50-58%, with mean follow-up time of 3-5 years. With regard to collagenase injection, the sample size ranged from 13-204. The recurrence rate ranged from 10-31%, with mean follow-up time of 120 days to 4 years. For the two latter procedures, adverse effects consisted primarily of skin tears (9-25%). Kruskal-Wallis testing demonstrated that the recurrence rate was significantly higher for needle aponeurotomy than for open partial fasciectomy (p=0.001), and the recurrence rate was significantly higher for open partial fasciectomy than for collagenase injection (p=0.001). Conclusions The recurrence rates and types of complications differ between open partial fasciectomy and needle aponeurotomy or collagenase injection. Long-term outcomes have not been well reported.

“…Collagenase is an enzyme that breaks the peptide bonds of collagen. It can be extracted from the culture of Clostridium histolyticum and is commonly used in therapies to remove cellular debris and extracellular tissue necrosis 19,20 . Its use in the treatment of wounds, ulcers and bedsores promotes new tissue formation and re-epithelialization and does not affect the healthy collagen and newly formed tissue 21 .…”

Bacterial Cellulose/Collagen Hydrogel for Wound Healing

This study compares a wound dressing based on bacterial cellulose/collagen (BC/COL) hydrogel in rat dorsum with commercial collagenase ointment and untreated wound. The hydrogel was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Fourier transformed -Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). According to the In vivo test and macroscopic evaluation, BC/COL hydrogel showed a better repair of wounds and promoted statistically significant differences of tissue repair between treatments on the 7th day after surgery. Better quality, quantity and orientation evaluation of collagen fibers (p=0.0001) were observed in the BC/COL hydrogel and collagenase ointment groups in relation to the control group. The BC/COL hydrogel promoted better wound healing than collagenase and the control group, therefore, it can be considered a potential wound dressing for skin regeneration.
