Surgery Recovery: Ulnar Shortening Osteotomy PART THREE

[@msstig3595]

Thank you so much for posting these videos! My surgery is coming up in two weeks and I didn't get a whole lot of info from my Doc as far as the little annoyances during recovery time! LOL So yeah, you rock for doing this!

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.

Hello. Rosehip oil helps scars...

[@fofofofo4120]

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

[@kaylamekler1536]

Basically, they cut out a piece of my bone to shorten it and put a metal plate in my arm to hold the bone together while it healed.

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

[@kaylamekler1536]

I think it depends on your insurance. Mine was partially covered I believe. My ulna bone was too long and I had a TFCC tear, which was causing me a lot of pain.

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.
