Twenty-three wrists in 22 patients (mean age, 37 years) with ulnar impaction syndrome were treated by ulnar shortening. The mean ulnar shortening was 2 mm (range, 1–4 mm). At a mean follow-up time of 33 months, 17 patients had obtained good subjective pain relief and 16 were shown to have a good overall outcome using the Wrightington Hospital Wrist Function Evaluation.
