This is an interview with Dr. Scott Schaaf, DO who is an Orthopedic Surgeon at The Everett Clinic. For a full biography of Dr. Schaaf, please visit: http://scottaschaaf.everettclinic.com/.<br /><br />"There are some small ligaments in the wrist that, if they tear, can lead to arthritis in the wrist, as well as causing pain after the injury; those can be taken care of with the arthroscope. Arthritis: you can buy someone some time with arthroscopic surgery for wrist arthritis. So, that's something that's relatively unique to my practice. There are only a couple of us in the area that do wrist arthroscopy. But it's something that I've found to be very successful and very helpful for people."<br /><br />For more information on The Everett Clinic Orthopedics Department please visit: http://www.everettclinic.com/specialties/orthopaedics.ashx?p=904.
