Ulnar osteotomy
I had this done in Sept. 2022. My wrist is becoming painful again almost as it was prior to surgery. I'm not sure what to do next.

Hello @murphygirl, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry to hear the pain returned after the surgery. From what I've read on the surgery around 1 of 5 patients have returning pain.

Have you discussed options with your hand surgeon?
Yes. He mentioned one of two small bones in my wrist. I plan to go in and get the details from him and then get a second opinion.
