Dupuytren’s Contracture is a progressive condition that gradually limits your ability to fully extend your fingers. At the Stem Cell & PRP Institute of L.A., located in Beverly Hills, we help patients across Los Angeles County regain hand function using non-surgical regenerative therapies. Under the leadership of Dr. Padra Nourparvar, a board-certified physician with advanced training in interventional orthopedics and regenerative medicine, patients receive personalized, evidence-based care rooted in the latest medical research and delivered with the highest standards of comfort and compassion.
Came in looking for prp for my wrist tendonitis i have suffered with for 2 years, i was a bit skeptical but the pain was awful so i gave prp a shot. Within the first 3 months after the prp i noticed my pain going away and slowly my wrist is healing. These guys were amazing and extremely friendly.
What Is Dupuytren’s Contracture?
Dupuytren’s Contracture causes the connective tissue in the palm (called fascia) to thicken and form fibrous cords. Over time, these cords pull the fingers into a bent position, making it difficult or impossible to lay the hand flat or grip objects comfortably.
Common Symptoms:
- Firm lumps or nodules in the palm
- Tight cords under the skin
- Gradual bending of the ring or little finger
- Inability to fully extend the affected fingers
- Functional limitations with tasks like typing, gripping, or putting on gloves
This condition is most common in men over 50, particularly those with Northern European ancestry, and may have a genetic component. According to recent data, up to 30% of men over age 60 show signs of Dupuytren’s Contracture, though not all require surgery.
Clinical Outcomes:
- PRP and stem cell therapy may delay or prevent surgery in up to 60% of early-stage patients
- Ultrasound-guided treatments reduce complications and improve precision
- Over 90% of patients at our Los Angeles clinic report improved hand mobility and grip strength within weeks of treatment
Regenerative Treatments for Dupuytren’s Contracture
While advanced cases may require surgery, many patients with early or moderate Dupuytren’s benefit from non-surgical, regenerative interventions. At our Beverly Hills office, we offer image-guided treatments that are designed to improve mobility, reduce contracture progression, and avoid downtime.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP harnesses your body’s own growth factors to reduce inflammation and potentially soften fibrotic cords. Administered under ultrasound guidance, this treatment is precise, safe, and typically performed in under an hour with little to no downtime.
Stem Cell Injections
For more severe or persistent contractures, mesenchymal stem cell therapy may offer anti-fibrotic and tissue-restorative benefits. These cells are harvested from bone marrow or adipose tissue and injected to slow progression and support healthy fascia remodeling.
Needle Aponeurotomy (Percutaneous Fasciotomy)
For select patients with advanced cord formation, we offer needle-based mechanical release to safely reduce finger contracture without surgical incisions. This procedure is often combined with regenerative biologics to enhance healing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Dupuytren’s Contracture
-
The exact cause is unknown, but genetics, family history, diabetes, and lifestyle factors like smoking or alcohol use can increase risk.
-
While there’s no “cure,” non-surgical therapies like PRP and stem cells can help control the progression and improve function — especially when started early.
-
PRP has been shown in some studies to reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and delay surgical intervention in early-stage patients. Results vary, but many experience relief and improved range of motion.
-
Most in-office procedures, including PRP, take less than an hour. Patients typically return to light activity the same day.
-
Surgery involves incising the fascia under anesthesia, while needle aponeurotomy is a minimally invasive release done with local numbing and no sutures. It is best for moderate cases.
-
In addition to Beverly Hills, we serve patients from Los Angeles, including Pasadena, West Hollywood, Culver City, Marina del Rey, and San Fernando Valley.
