I don't know why so many people on this site bad mouth the faciectomy procedure, but I think it's very suspicious. I am a 32 year old female with DC (this is extremely rare). I was actually diagnosed with it when I was 23, long before the contractures began. About a year ago, my left ring finger began to contract and proceeded doing so at a steady rate. I had a very thick and protruding cord running from my palm all the way to the tip of my finger, along with a large nodule at the top/side of my finger. I went for 2 consults...the first at Baltimore's Curtis Hand Center and the other at Georgetown University Hospital. I was told by both doctors (Dr. Graham and Dr. Haque) that they could successfully take out the cord and nodule. I had the surgery with Dr. Haque at the beginnning of March 2005 and am almost completely recovered. My scar is nearly non-existant (don't let the post op pics on the web scare you, they're taken RIGHT after suregery..of course it's messy looking!). I have FULL usage of my finger and it's completely straight, nodule gone too. Not only that, but I was able to type and participate in normal activities about 3 weeks post op. It's all about finding a qualified (if not superior) hand surgeon. When I inquired about recurrence, I was told that it's quite likely that it is dependent on how well the surgery was performed..in other words, if the surgeon doesn't manage to remove all of the diseased tissue, it will probably recur. If he or she is knows what he/she is doing, it probably won't. I am extremely pleased with my results and will be glad to send pictures to anyone who would like to see my results. I also HIGHLY recommend Dr. Haque. He has a wonderful manner as well.

09/19/2006 23:49 SusieQ	Lori~sq~s Postings Just to let you all know -- a little while ago I e-mailed Lori with a copy of our "List of MD's who do NA," informed her that we already have Bourland on there, and invited her to provide e-mails for the new docs she mentions so I (or someone) can verify them, get their full information and if they check out, add them to the list. Lori probably hasn't read this forum very much and isn't up on all we already know about, and all we've aleady accomplished! Warm wishes to all who have made positive contributions here. Susan
