If you have ulnar positive variance (a long ulna relative to the radius) and you have pain/loss of function that persists despite care with bracing, injections, therapy etc., then treatment with and ulnar shortening osteotomy ( a joint leveling procedure ) with or without wrist arthroscopy may be indicated.
