Ulnar Bone Sticking Out On Left Wrist

I had a multi-injury accident almost 12 years ago. My left hand was involved and a ligament tear was repaired, in 2008. Now my question is....how can the ulnar be so pronounced so many years later? I would rather think it would have been detected before now.But now in 2017, it is very noticeable and I experience pain, occasionally (effecting strength issues in my left hand). Any ideas regarding the Ulnar bone? Thanks, Carl

      Going to the ortho doc on Monday, just wondering if this could have been caused by the accident

      Hi Carl

      It could be damage done from the accident that has weakened the ulna...but after 12 years i would think this would have been evident before now..but best wait until you see ortho doc......best wishes...

    You could have Madelungs Deformity, this is a rare condition that is normally classed as a birth defect but it can also be brought on following an injury.

    It's diagnosed by x rays but you will need to mention if Madelungs Deformity is present as it's not something they would normally look for.
