Cordase

Dear Dr Denkler,

Thank you so much for going to France. I know it's a burden and really appreciate the time you are taking from your practice to do this.

Bon Voyage,
Frances

    NA in America

    Cordase

    In my experience, American doctors know all about NA. Whether they accpet it or promote it is a different story. It seems that they do see any long term studies and have concerns about nerve damage or see it as an alternative for elderly patients who are not good candidates for surgery. The doctors seem to know all about this. My hand surgeon did and so did my family doctor.

      updating list of N.A. doctors

      Hi all,

      The list of M.D.s performing N.A.* I presented recently has only U.S. doctors because I had saved those in various locations in my files.

      *(N.A. is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure for Dupuytrens which effectively breaks the cords which cause contraction of the fingers, thereby releasing them. It seems to have a very good safety record so far. Dr.Eaton was apparently the first to do this procedure in the United States and his website is an excellent source of information: http://www.handcenter.org/newfile16.htm )


      I didn't have the time/patience to go back and trace the addresses of those outside U.S.

      If you have those, or want to search them out, please let me know and I will amend the list to ad them.

      FRANCES--your idea of identifying doctors with French training is a good one and I had thought of that too, but don't have the info. at my fingertips. I can update the list periodically, or ANYONE ELSE CAN TOO. IT'S "OURS" not mine. I don't know who was doing this before but it hadn't been posted for awhile.

        needle aponevrotomy

        I had 2 aponevrotomy with needle treatments with dr. Rappopport in Switzerland with great success. Unfortunatly I have a sever case and after over 3 years it has come back on my left hand, level 3.
        As I live in Canada (BC) and that we have now a trained doc with the method, it is cheaper for me to have it here. My question is: those of you out there who had the treatment with dr. H.Spacek in Montreal, are you happy with her level of expertise.
        Thanks.

            searching for NA surgeon

            Has anyone any information regarding travelling from UK to France to have NA? Any advice on how to contact surgeons who perform this procedure, has anyone had both hands done at the same time. Also, is there anyone yet performing this operation in the UK? Any information gratefully received.

                  Bill,

                  Here is the entire list. Looks like Press is your man.

                  LIST OF DOCTORS OFFERING NEEDLE APONEUROTOMY* TREATMENT FOR DUPUYTRENS CONTRACTURE IN U.S. (Updated 12/11/05)
                  please let us know of any corrections or additions

                  FOR INTERNATIONAL DOCTORS PERFORMING N.A. see: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/f.badois-dupuytren/html/liste.html

                  *(N.A. is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure for Dupuytrens which effectively breaks the cords which cause contraction of the fingers, thereby releasing them. The procedure has been available in France for many years with an excellent safety record and was introduced in the U.S. in 2003 by Dr. Charles Eaton. Since then a number of other doctors have begun offering N.A. to their patients as an alternative to open hand surgery.
