Aponevrotomy
To all of my fellow D/C sufferers.
Well, it's all behind me now. I had Dr. Rappoport perform Aponevrotomy in Switzerland on both hands this past week and am pleased with the results.
The fingers of my left hand were very bad: The #4 being bent at 90 degrees and the pinkie at 45. Surgeons in the USA advised that at best a correction to 45 was possible. My #4 is now at 20 degrees and #5 is at 5. I will attempt therapy and hopefully gain a bit more straightening. It is strange having the use of all my fingers once again.
As for the right hand that I thought to be in much better condition, confounded the physycian because my palm was a disaster about to happen. Cords were pulling on 3 fingers and after a 2 hour session were finally perforated. I now have full extension of all fingers, however the #4 has lost some sensitivity. Hopefully that will ease in the near future.
Considering the state of my hands prior to Aponevrotomy and the present condition, I rate my current status as an 80% overall improvement. Far better then friends and forum members that have undergone conventional surgery.
Of course the question remains: How long before the LOST CHORDS return to perform their insidious musical performance in my hands?
Good Luck to all. I will answer any and all questions either on the Forum or personally via E-mail.
Please allow about a weeks time before I can reply due to a death in the family that occured while I was away.

Aponevrotomy
Aponevrotomy is a surgical procedure that cuts the cords that contract the fingers. It does not remove the cords or the nodules. See Walt's site (http://jvm.com/wstagner/main.htm) for good info.

Dupuytren~sq~s
Hello,
I had surgery for Dupuytren's a couple of years ago in the US. It didn't work. My affected fingers started re-contracting right away despite the fact that I wore my splint AND did the exercises as prescribed.
I live in Paris. Does anyone know a doctor here who does the procedure?
Thanks. jank

Aponevrotomy
Jerry,
It has been some time now since you had NA. How is it going? Are your fingers still straight? Have you had NA again?

Aponevrotomy
Dear Hammerhead,
Jerry's post was from 2001. Are you trying to burying our posts by bringing old ones to the top?

Aponevrotomy
I am trying to find someone who was treated long ago to see how long NA might last.

NA time frame
It will vary, of course, from person to person. The average time that an NA will last seems to be 1 to 5 years.
