Hello All.

I’m currently 55, and have been dealing with dupuytren's for about 7 years now. I have had NA twice on my left hand, (lucky me I’m left handed.) My index and little finger are affected. NA worked really well the first time, and I was very happy that I was cured. I wore my brace at night for about 6 months, and then figured I was done with dupuytren's. After a year the same two fingers started to contract, when they reached 35 degrees I went back to Dr. Eaton for a second procedure. This time my fingers would not completely straighten out maybe a 15-degree contraction (pip) I still was happy. Within two years I was back to 35 to 45 degree contractions. I managed to get into a clinical trail for XIAFLEX injections the stage three trials.(9 months long) I had no success what so ever with the injection, I did feel some cord burst during the manipulations but my fingers never really changed. A few in the trial did have some degree of success. My hand is worse now than it has ever been and I’ve been told NA is not really an option. Which bring me to my question. I’m going to need surgery and live in northern New Hampshire, everything I’ve read suggest getting a very experienced surgeon, I’m hoping someone here my have some suggestion of Dr's. or just a hand surgery center that has experience. I’m more than happy to travel to Boston to have this done.
Thanks for any help.
