Why aren more doctors doing needle aponeurotomy?
Many doctors in the US are simply not aware of the benefits of NA. Also, there is a very strong surgical tradition in the US of fasciectomy (removing the abnormal tissue) instead of fasciotomy (cutting the tight cord). It’s just a matter of time before this changes – there’s no conspiracy, no hidden agendas. Britain’s National Health Service has reviewed the procedure and has published favorable policy statements regarding this – see http://www.nice.org.uk/search.aspx?search-mode=simple&ss=dupuytren.
