Hi kayla do they put you in a sleep or awake during surgery? And is there any pain ? Im planning to arrange my surgery and im so nervous with the pain 😢

My 14 year old just had this surgery. How long until full motion recovery?

Very informative video I’m waiting for my surgery soon! The hair will go back to normal soon happened to me on my right hand when I broke it it’s from the sun not being able to lighten it 😊 not looking forward to arm cast smells again glad your on the mend now! Xx

Great video! How long did it take until you were able to do martial arts again after your surgery?

I am 7 weeks post op. These videos really help. Thank you.

Hi, I found your channel, I'm from Brazil, my name is Thalia, I had the same surgery as you and I've been recovering for 24 days, how long did it take for you to be able to perform arm supination? I still can't turn it

How come you did 2 surgery

Having my operation in 5 weeks. Watching videos to prep myself. Thank you for posting!

How are you at this point? I’ve just had the surgery yesterday. I’m 50 and have also had both hands done for carpal tunnel. All of this likely from weight lifting for 30 years. I love to work with my hands and play guitar and want to continue weight lifting so I had to take the risk. Hope you’re doing well

I’ve had this and now only have pain where the metal is. Anyone else have issues with the metal causing issues?

Why did you get the sugery?

Hi. I watched your videos. I also had an ulnar shortening osteotomy with TFCC debridement and my ulnar nerve moved at my elbow. I am 6 weeks out of having the hardware removed. How is your arm now??? I'm worried that my pain will never go away

How are you feeling since your plate removal ? How is your mobility ? We’re you able to resume your work outs ? I have recently been diagnosed with a long ulnar and I too have been told to get the ulnar shortening osteotomy. I am trying to find individuals who have had the procedure and see what there recommendations are, pertaining to whether or not it was worth it in the end , thank you for sharing your journey …. Sincerely …. Jason Barton

Hi Kayla, since your last post, how are you feeling with your mobility? And pain? I’ve been teetering for two years now about the surgery only because I saw the recovery rate was concerning. I tripped over my Lab on the stair landing open hand on my wrist. Your video posts has been very informative and helpful. By far the most informative that I have found within the two years have been searching. Thank you for sharing your journey.

7/29/22 thank you for sharing!! Any updates?

I am supposed be having this surgery in about two weeks. i am a little nervous but hopeful that I can go on to make a full recovery back to work and life how is was before. I am thankful for your video it helps

Hello. Rosehip oil helps scars...

do you have xray photos

Although ulnar shortening osteotomy has been successfully used for treating idiopathic ulnar impaction syndrome,3-5) several long term studies showed that 28-38% of the patients had radiographic degenerative changes in the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) 2-6 years after this procedure.

Hi Kayla, I'm having this surgery on my right wrist in 10 days and your videos are so helpful, thank you for sharing your experience. I hope my recovery doesn't take so long, my doctor said osteotomy takes atleast 5 months.

Thank you for this video this gives me hope. And that I'm not alone

did they give you a sling to wear when you had the long arm cast ?

How is your wrist now??

Great videos! Motorcycle accident new radial head replacement and now ulnar shortening in two weeks. Knowing now would you have left plat in?

Hi i’m having the same exact surgery soon. Sadly I have positive ulnar variance in both of my wrists as well as a tfcc tear. Super bummed but thankful i’m getting it done.

I watching this a day before I'm supposed to get my short arm cast and my surgery is on my right arm

Is it covered by insurance? How much did it cost? What is the medical reason for this surgery?

I am having this done in less than 2 weeks. Thank you for making this because I don’t know anyone who has had this.

How short did your arms get?

I would hope there is still room for improvement! You’re still only a few months post-surgery.

hi.I need to ulna shortening. are you suggest me this surgery?

Thanks for sharing

The exercises you showes in the last viedo Where these the only one u did or did you get to the physicsl therapy also?

Nice👏

When they decided to do the surgery, was your ulna visibly longer than your radius on the X-ray? I severely sprained my wrist 10 months ago and we’ve tried everything but the tears won’t heal. In my X-ray my ulna is wayyy longer than the radius and almost touching one of the bones in my wrist. They said my only option is to do this surgery or things could get much much worse over time. They made it all seem like a breeze because I’m only 25, but after watching your videos I’m much more nervous 😬

I'm having this done soon so feeling a bit anxious your videos has helped a lot

was the pain before the surgery so bad that you couldn’t workout? bc i just got diagnosed with the same thing but my pain is stopping me from doing everything

I’m having this soon 😓

How’s your arm? I’m deciding whether or not to get the surgery

Just had my surgery yesterday

Mine is next week, do you have any tips for the recovery? I'll have my wife there too help but we also have a toddler.

Hey Kayla, I just watched your video. I also have just found out that I have an ulnar positive variance as well, I'm starting to do conservative treatment first. I wanted to ask if you also had the option to do an arthroscopic wafer procedure for this problem, unless your variance was to big that the osteotomy was better? I do a lot of weightlifting so I'm limited to what I can do for now. If you did have the choice between the two, what made you choose this option over the other? Thanks.

I was looking for pics of post op scars when I came across your videos! I had my surgery a year ago and would love to talk to someone else about it. Is there a way I could email or message you??

Did you have pain when trying to supinate when you first started out? How is your pain now?

Well done

Having watched this, I really wish I could have this done

did they put bone anchor or something like that i have to do syrgery to 😿

heyy.. can u write???

I've had this surgery like 5 months ago. They told me they're not taking the metal plate out, they only take the plate out if it's causing issues, mine still hurts and pops. It's a lot better then it use to feel and I can somewhat do push up now but not like I used to. I'm currently in the military and im afraid if this doesn't heal 100% that they're going to kick me out 😪 plus this isn't counted as a military related injury so I won't get VA disability, plus my doctor doesn't even check on me, its like he just started ghosting me. Last time I talked to him, he said my bone is healed and I just have to build my muscle back up and everything will go back to normal. This was my first surgery and I swear I hope I never have surgery again because it's hard to work or do anything and then end up struggling in life
