Here's a list of M.D.s who perform needle aponeurotomy in the U.S.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE ADDRESSES OF THE NON-U.S. M.D.s IF YOU HAVE THEM AND I WILL ADD THEM TO THE LIST.

(N.A. is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure for Dupuytrens which effectively breaks the cords which cause contraction of the fingers, thereby releasing them. It seems to have a very good safety record so far. Dr.Eaton was apparently the first to do this procedure in the United States and his website is an excellent source of information.)
