Objective

Retrospective study to assess the outcomes of ulnar shortening for TFCC tear and distal radial malunion.

Method

Retrospective note and x-ray review of all patients undergoing ulnar shortening over a ten year period along with a clinic assessment and scoring to date. The ulnar shortening was performed using the Stanley Jigs (Osteotec). A 5–6 holed DCP was used to stabilize the osteotomy site. Physiotherapy was commenced immediately following the surgery to promote prono-supination and wrist exercises.
