I had an ulnar shortening 1-06 and the results have been remarkable! I hesitated having the procedure done. I waited five years post distal radial fracture.I had many cortisone injections that worked well, but every time they wore off the pain and damage only got worse. I only wish I hadn't waited so long....I have FULL range of motion now, normal bilateral strength,and can fully pronate and supinate and best of all.... I HAVE NO PAIN!!!!I now need to have the plate out,,,just because it is so close to the skin and very subcue.....sometimes a little irratating.
