Re: NA experience by Australian Users

Newman,
Thanks for all that. I have emailed Dr Dilley on a totally different address given by his secretary. No reply yet so maybe it's gone astray. I need to get it looked at soonish I think. My GP had a look about a year ago and just said 'come back when the fingers won't open properly and we'll operate'. That's when I started looking for something else! I have a friend who was the receptionist for a surgeon for a while. She said that many people had surgery then came back later for an amputation. I'll watch the video carefully when I have a few minutes. Cheers

Re: NA experience by Australian Users

Dear Australians,

I am the Brian who started this thread so I apologise for not contributing to same for several months. Hitherto I had nothing to report, but I've just returned from Gagny (an outer suburb of Paris) having undergone extremely successful NA procedures with Dr Lermusiaux I have much to report if anyone is still reading posts to this thread. So rather than type away not knowing if anyone is reading this, I'll hold off providing a full report until I see anyone requesting information. What I will say is that several Australians have had extremely successful treatments with Dr Lermusiaux over several years. Before I went to Paris saw Dr Jennifer Green at St George at she told me that NA was not suitable for my degree of Dupes, the worst of which was a Stage III, 85 deg bend at the PIP of my right little finger. Dr lermusiaux, who 'invented' NA 30 odd years ago, told me that he does up to 15 procedures a day and that my condition was not particularly severe and certainly easilly treatable by an EXPERIENCED NA practitioner. Anyone who cares to look can verify this with their own eyes by viewing the various video clips of NA procedures at http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=8MiNMIFpRSQ

Kind regards,

Re: NA experience by Australian Users

Hi Brian, good to hear that everything went well with your NA! Dr. Lermusiaux and his colleagues have a long history of experience in treating Dupuytren patients with stage 3 and 4. He provided us with a copy of one of his papers (http://www.dupuytren-online.info/NA_training_literature.html and http://www.dupuytren-online.info/images/...lermusiaux1.jpg). Pictures of NA for a stage 4 patient, provided by Dr.Keith Denkler, are shown on the bottom of http://www.dupuytren-online.info/needle_aponeurotomy.html.

This supports your statement that an experienced doctor can treat advanced stages of Dupuytren's contracture with NA. Unfortunately contracture will usually recur earlier for patients treated in stage 3 or 4 (similar to surgery) but recurrence can be postponed by wearing a night splint.
