Just an update, I went ahead with the surgery... two weeks later stitches are out and I'm back at work. Still a little sore and trying to touch thumb to pinky is a little painful but use of my hand is about a 85% and getting better every day. The numbness and tingling in my fingertips is gone much to my relief.
As has been said there is a lot of pro/con to this surgery, every human body is different and will react differently plus every surgeon is a fallible human so lots of things can go wrong..
However for me I think the surgery was a good idea, I still have some healing to do before I will be 100% but I think it was a success.
Just to be fair my wife's CP surgery did not go so well (different surgeon) it was a month before she had the mobility I now have and she and to return for a few surgeries to "fix" a few things. She is now mad at me for healing so quickly
