    pmw      		successive fingers affectedby Dupuytren's

    Have had ring finger and thumb and middle finger and thumb surgeries for Dupuytren's. No sooner do I recover from one surgery that another finger starts triggering. The latest is that I've been diagnosed with CTS. Do I get the fingers fixed first? Any advice?

    People have posted that surgery for CT has often initiated DD or increased existing DD. But since you are seeing this anyway with DD surgery, plan on having the CT surgery only if it's really necessary and CT splinting does not help, then consider RT following surgery once you have recovered and a flat functional hand.
