Question About Ulnar Impaction Surgery

[tdsd84]

Will he be able to return to work? He has a physically demanding job. His doctor said that he may not even be able to use a hammer or ride a motorcycle. This was an elective surgery and was not something he would have had done if it was going to disable him. This surgery was not explained. When he first saw his xray, he thought he had broken his arm. Was there a more conserative treatment for wrist pain that could have been attempted?
