I had this surgery done in October 2004, and then asked for the plate to be removed in May 2006 after my bone had healed. My wrist is still not 100%, but it's close... I also had a lunotriquetral ligament tear in addition to the TFCC injury. This is a fascinating procedure to watch... Good luck to everyone else who has had this procedure. The hand therapy that follows is a lot of work, but it is worth it.
I'm havin this done in the new year not lookin forward to it. When you all had yours done did any of you have a sling. My drs told me my arm will be in a short arm cast. Like I said I'm not looking forward but hubby is having the week to look after me. I've got my pre op assesment on the 3rd Jan so hopefully my op wont be that far behind.
i only have pain from the plate when i have pushed myself to far, but other then that no pain at all other them when i have to catch a kid from running around the house because they dont want to listen, sometime from the weather but that is not all the time. when that happen i just put the brace back on.

@donnaneedham1 . Doctors don't advocate slings these days... I had a short-arm cast.

@Phoebepetryk. I always had pain with the plate... I asked for it to be removed in May 2006, after it had been done in October 2004...
