Dr. Staelin performed a radial carpectomy on my right wrist to relieve chronic arthritis in that joint five years ago. I am a very physically active 64 year-old and my wrist has held up very well with no pain even with all the activity I still do each day with my hands. Dr. Staelin is the consummate professional and I would highly recommend him for orthopedic issues with the hand, wrist and elbow. I am a pilot by profession and would not trust my career to anyone else.
