Needle Aponeurotomy (Needle Aponevrotomy or NA) is a minimally invasive treatment for Dupuytren's contracture. In contrast to surgical treatment, which requires several months of recovery, Needle Aponeurotomy allows a more rapid recovery. In most cases, it is possible to return to near normal activities without bandages within a few days of treatment.

This technique was developed in Paris by Dr. Lermusiaux at the Hopital Laribosière. Dr. Eaton was personally instructed on this method by Dr. Lermusiaux and his colleagues, and offers this procedure in the United States at The Hand Center.
