I was treated bt Dr. Eaton in mid January, 2004. I had a PIP 47 degrees contraction of my pinky. As I have posted before, it remains straight as an arrow to this very day.

Treated by Eaton in January of this year (2005). No changes in my hand since the procedure was completed.

I had NA performed on the Ring PIP of my right dominant hand on 04/11/05. If I didn't have the evidence, there is no way I could now prove I previously hand a 30 degree contracture, or that NA hand been performed. I continue to wear a nightly splint, as the PIP tissue has a tendency to "remember" the curve. There is minor pain in the morning after removing the splint and flexing the finger. If I forget to wear the splint, there is no pain, but I revert to 5-10 degree bend without it. The splint is important to enforce the best possible outcome.

I will gladly repeat this procedure yearly to avoid *additional* OS. I doubt I will need treatment that often, but I must avoid at all costs what was form *me* the Nuclear Option.
