    		 Period between Needle Aponevrotomy procedures

    I understand that needle aponevrotomy is not a cure for DC,but rather a correction that may last for an indefinite period of time. However,I would like to know what the history is and if information relative to amount of time procedure remains effective is available,understanding that there are various degrees of DC. Do we have any members of this board who have had multiple procedures performed and what was time period between procedures? Is there any indications limiting the number of procedures?

    		 Period Between Procedures

    The period between NA procedures depends on the aggressiveness of your version of the disease. From general conversations I have had with others, the average seems to be about 3-4 years. There is no limit on the number of times NA can be performed, especially with no scar tissue to deal with. JIM
