A member asked:

I had ulna osteotomy surgery 9 weeks ago. at 5 weeks x-rays showed a fracture. it is painful over my wrist, could it still be broke? is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let me explain: The area of the osteotomy should be healed by know, some times will face delayed healing or no healing at the osteotomy site check with doctor and more x-ray could be taken to see. Good luck.
