Jim has a hand condition called Dupuytrens Contracture. The collagen builds up around the tendon causing it to contract. Luckily for Jim in the last two years a medication called Xilaflex has been used by injection to eliminate the collagen making it possible to straighten out the affected finger. The next day the finger was almost as straight as the others. Yeah no surgery!
