Dupuytrens Contracture ("Vikings Disease")

7. night splints

I just re-read your comment about the night splints and agree that they should be worn much longer than a few weeks following any procedure. I can see every morning that my fingers have straighten out from the previous evening.

But what I wanted to mention....seems to me any Occupational Therapist can create or modify a split for you. If you have your doctor /PCP write a prescription, then you might not even have to pay for it. If the doctor is reluctant, just tell him/her that you have pain and need it. There's a medical code for pain, although maybe not one for splint. (Same as saying your vision is blurry, giving you headaches, has a medical code but saying you want new glasses, there is no code.)
