Lee shared the news in an Instagram post along with several very graphic photos of his hand that were taken during and after the surgery.

"I’m able to twirl my sticks again… i haven’t been able to do that in a few years because of the Dupytrens Contracture and carpal tunnel issues that are now gone!" he wrote. "@drcohenhandsurgeon and the staff there I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL."
Dupytrens Contracture is a "gradual thickening and tightening of tissue under the skin in the hand," per the Mayo Clinic. The condition can cause one or more fingers to bend toward the palm and become unable to straighten.
