Avoid Wrist Surgery with Regenexx

The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is responsible for the use of our opposable thumbs and wear or injury can lead to wrist pain and swelling. In many cases, the recommended treatment for chronic TFCC problems is a surgery that involves shortening the ulna, the arm bone leading to the wrist, in order to reduce pressure. Research shows that this surgery, far from being a helpful long-term solution, actually leads to an increase in negative forces in the wrist that lead to future injuries. Beyond that, significant complications have been found in nearly 50% of patients following surgery.

During this outpatient procedure, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing agents into the exact areas of injury in the TFCC to reduce pain and discomfort and to restore function. Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery and little to no time off of work. Call our patient care coordinators today to get started on your path to recovery.

I became a doctor because I had multiple sports injuries as a young man and I had loved ones living with chronic pain. I fell in love with biomechanics during the rehab process and decided to pursue a career in medicine and specifically physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R). My approach to patient care is that every single patient is a VIP. I pride myself on being consistent and thorough with all of my evaluations and treatments. I moved from Philadelphia, PA to Broomfield, CO in June 2024 to train at the prestigious Interventional Orthopedics Fellowship at the Centeno Schultz clinic. After completion of fellowship, I decided to stay and work with the amazing team at CSC.

Dr. Pelle is a highly accomplished physician specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with a deep passion for interventional orthopedics.

He has a strong research background, notably winning an award at the 2023 Interventional Orthobiologics Foundation (IOF) Max Meeting for his research abstract.

Dr. Pelle is passionate about medical education and has served as an instructor for resident and medical student ultrasound courses at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as various educational programs. His research and clinical interests include the use of regenerative medicine techniques such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and mesenchymal stem cells in orthopedic and musculoskeletal health. Outside of medicine, Dr. Pelle is an avid reader who reads multiple books a month, enjoys hiking, traveling, skiing, pheasant and duck hunting, weightlifting, men’s health, nutrition, optimizing athletic performance, and spending time with his wife and children.
