What is required for Evaluation?

Needle Aponevrotomy may or may not be a reasonable option for your hands, depending on your exact problem. Sometimes the only way to tell whether or not NA is appropriate is by examining your hands in the office. This is one of the problems with long-distance medical care.

Pictures
If you are able to email pictures of your hands, it may be possible to render a preliminary opinion based on these. These shots are helpful, as viewed from...

The back: palm down, thumb down:

The front: palm up, thumb up:

The outside: palm pushing down on a table top, trying to straighten the fingers:

If you have scars or previous surgery, include a picture with them marked with a marking pen

Telephone
Please include a contact telephone number with any email. The Hand Center will need to conduct a five to ten minute telephone medical history review before scheduling your visit, to ensure that your procedure won't be unexpectedly delayed or cancelled after you arrive.
