J Hand Surg Am. 2004 Sep;29(5):871-6. doi: 10.1016/j.jhsa.2004.04.024.

Abstract

This study presents a modified technique for performing ulnar shortening osteotomies. The long ulnar sliding osteotomy differs from standard ulnar shortening techniques in 2 ways: (1) a single cut is made in the ulna and (2) screws only are used for fixation.
