Contracture Treatment With 5-FU

Abstract

We present a case of a 53-year-old female patient who was treated with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) after postsurgical contracture. A review of the literature regarding the use of 5-FU injections as a minimally invasive way to treat contracture was performed. We describe that the use of 5-FU injections is the preferred method for the effective treatment of contracture with minimal risk to the patient.
