The DISC Trial Part 1: Surgery vs Injection for Dupuytren's Contracture
This week in the Research Room, we kick off a special two-part episode! We're joined by Charlie Welch and Dr Puvan Tharmanathan who walk us through the Dupuytren's Interventions: Surgery vs Collagenase Trial (DISC).
Dupuytren’s contracture is the fourth most common problem affecting the hand in the UK, but the most suitable course of treatment is often unclear. Join us to learn all about how the DISC trial aimed to tackle this issue, and the challenges they faced along the way.
Don't forget to join us next time for part 2 where Charlie and Puvan reveal the all important results!
