I also hope that I remain at Stage one; please remember that
I had NA when my right little finger contracture approached
about 35 degrees of contracture. I would be at Stage two
otherwise. When the contracture returns, I will go back to
France for another 20-30 minute session. My options were
increased by the posts of those that preceded me and were
willing to share their experiences. My Internist referred
me to a plastic surgeon. Fortunately, my independent streak
led me to this and the Lariboisiere site. Instead of surgery, I had a corrective procedure. I owe a debt of
gratitude to those of you who "paved the way." Thanks.
No hubris intended. My condition is mild compared to that of
many others. Keep on sharing.

Randy,
Sorry that I didn't respond sooner, I had intended to. Richard had the McCash method used on one of his four surgeries. It was in his palm area only. In other words, his palm was left open to heal, while the fingers were still stitched up via the zigzag method. It was his most difficult surgery of them all. I feel for you with your recovery. I saw the difficult recovery he went through with it.

Mary Beth,
Go to Dr. K. website, click on surgery. It is the last sentence in Dupuytren's. It is the sentence that I quoted.
