I had the great fortune of finding a forum on my contracture just before being butchered by a leading Orthopedic Surgeon in Durango, Colorado for about $10,000. He was going to filet both my hands and scrape the thickened fascia.Instead I read about the many Doctors in Paris that for a couple hundred dollars insert a needle into the palm and in a few seconds cut the contracted fiber in each finger and simply straighten the finger out with a pull.The fact most surgeon are not aware of this decades old procedure is inexcusable ignorance for profit!!!I found one American Doctor,Dr Eaton in Florida, who had the integrity to investigate the French technique and had actually trained in Paris and he corrected my bent fingers on a Monday. I played in a golf tournement 2 days later.Hope this reaches you before your doctor chops you up.
