Dr. Levine answers: During the course of the study, patients were seen on a monthly basis and assessed for changes they noted. Overall what appeared to occur was that a few patients had measurable improvement after 1-2 months of therapy with a minimum of 4-6 hours a

For most, the deformity will stabilize within 6-12 months, but repeated injury could prolong this process. If the

Potaba is in my opinion (based on currently available medical evidence) worthless. It is an expensive and poorly tolerated placebo. Even less effective is verapamil gel. There
