To Mr. Pierre Poulot :
Sorry to say I find your comment almost insulting. If you would have read a bit more through these forums, you would clearly see that we are definitely aware of the existence of NA.
Since the majority of the people visiting this forum seem to be not from countries like Belgium, France, Switzerland ( tho I am ! ), the talk is mainly about surgery.
Btw, the forum www.dupuytren.org doesnt really say much about surgery !
So, let us all keep an open mind, ok ?

Pierre,
This is all one forum with several threads. It is not as though people only read one thread, so you don't have to continually express your endorsement of your procedure as "the one". Nor do you have to be astonished that no one has heard of NA. Anyone who has taken the time to read the threads, knows about NA. Just as with surgery, people are different and have different results. NA is not necessarily the preferred procedure by most of the world and until the data supports the procedure, it won't be preferred.

Chuck,
Patients of DC have the right to choose the method of correction that they desire. Their choice is based either on knowledge or ignorance of what is available. The preferred choice as defined by the choice most often employed, is the fasciectomy. The dermofasciectomy is the second and the fasciotomy third.

Chuck,
I don't source and document everything I read. If and when I run across the information again, you will be the first person I will contact. What part of the information do you have a problem? Obviously you are baiting me, so what is your point? Are you suggesting that there is another, more prolific procedure than surgery worldwide? Let us know if I am mistaken, we are here to learn.
Gary

Chuck,
I am not irritated, believe me. I could care less what form of treatment that anyone chooses. I didn't say surgery was right or wrong, only that it is the most common form of treatment. For me ((90 degrees) surgery was about my only option. If anything else would have been available, with any kind of a track record, I would have jumped at it. I'm just not into being the first in the US to have NA done, even if it is suggested by some to be fantastic and without problems. I was uncertain about the surgery. I had the opportunity to talk with several people who had surgery and they all (every one) had positive experiences. My surgery was a positive experience also and that, plus what I have read is all that I base my feelings. I am not saying it is better or worse than other procedures, it was my only choice.

I do know that my insurance company would have wanted me to choose a cheaper alternative if one was available. They do not like to pay higher medical cost either.
