I had that surgery no pain anymore. Surgeon described he cuts a piece of tendon from forearm and wraps it up in place of the bone. Had 6 weeks occupational therapy prior to surgery. Post op is long but in the end worth it no pain anymore. I’m one of the few patients that also required post op occupational therapy, I have a reverse total shoulder on the same arm. Very successful surgery for me with hand surgeon. I also watched a you tube video online of the actual surgery prior to having it done.
