Abstract
The results of 111 ulnar head resections are presented. The indication for operation was pain in 90% of cases. Post-operatively pain was relieved or reduced in 87% and function improved in 75%. In only 7% did post-operative wrist deformity occur. These were associated with disease severity rather than the operative technique.Keywords
