~dq~fasciotomy vs. fasciectomy~dq~
What is this other forum? I would be interested in reading the post concerning 'legality of NA' in US. I'm still planning my 'European vacation' for next year.

Len, I hope you found the posting. I was in error posting that it was from Tom. The questions was posted by Jim on 4-11-03 and then the answer from the webmaster was posted on 4-12-03. Good luck and let us know you thoughts.

Be careful how you read that webmasters response. It says : "There is no difference between needle aponevrotomy and NEEDLE fasciotomy". So, he is not addressing the difference between NA and surgical fasciotomy.

Eddie, Thanks for your thoughts/interpretations. I agree that this answer does relate primarily to the "needle" aponevro- tomy and the "needle" fasciotomy. It does not go into surgical fasciotomy. Please help out here. What is the verbage for fasciotomy w/the AMA? Do you know? Does it specifiy a scalpel? Eagerly awaiting any imput you can provide. There are general definitions and then there are specific guidelines for all "trades". Have a couple of friends researching for us, but the sooner the info is shared the better. Thanks again.

Fasciotomy vs. Fasciectomy
I would think 'needle fasciotomy' is a misnomer, although a surgeon over here uses the 'subcutaneous fasciotomy' for NA.
If you do a quick search on the net, you might find the following definitions :
Fasciotomy :surgical incision of a fascia
Fascia : a sheet of connective tissue (as an aponeurosis) covering or binding together body structures : also : tissue occurring in such a sheet / or / A sheet or band of fibrous connective tissue enveloping, separating, or binding together muscles, organs, and other soft structures of the body
Fasciectomy : surgical excision of strips of fascia
Apeunorectomy : Excision of an aponeurosis Also called by some : 'Aponovrotomy', 'Subcutaneous (just under the skin) fasciotomy', and maybe other.
Aponeurosis : A sheetlike fibrous membrane, resembling a flattened tendon, that serves as a fascia to bind muscles together or as a means of connecting muscle to bone
Interpretation of all this ? I leave it up to you. No idea what the AMA sees in all this, being Belgian myself :)
