In a post about this same issue a few years ago, I mentioned my wife had the surgery on both her wrists, about 4 months apart. It has been many years now and surprisingly those wrist joints are about the only ones in her body that don't hurt from arthritis pain. I had "trigger finger" surgery by the same surgeon in San Diego and have had no issues. That lady only did hands and wrists and according to my primary care doctor is one of the best in the country. I would suggest making sure the surgeon does this regularly and is a well known "expert" at it, as my heart bypass surgeon was.
