Looking at Writ Full Fusion and USO
Hello I’m a 36F, 100lbs, non smoker, very minimal drinker.
Long story short I ripped my SL ligament completely. Got a reconstruction and after persistent pain found out I had radiocarpal high grade arthritis, cmc arthritis, edema in the druj and joint effusions.
Basically I’m looking at a full fusion combined with an ulnar shortening ostectomy as conservative care and time have only made the issue worse an more persistent. The hand is painful and minimally useful. The pain is all over both radial and ulnar. The ulnar side hurt after awhile and turns out there’s a partial foveal tear there too.
I’m just wondering if there is any advice reassurance or thoughts on these two surgeries. Are they staged. Combined. Do they impact one another.
