X-rays
I had a bone scan done and some x-rays. Well I was looking at the x-ray and noticed the ulnar bone is higher then it has been in previous x-rays so I did a little searching on positive ulnar variance. It seems to me that it is positive what do you all think?

I also have a link where you can see positive ulnar variance/neutral and negative

RE: X-rays
I had a Brother who would "self diagnose" himself on a injury. To make a long story short, leave the reading of the xrays to the Radiologist,Orthopedics etc who are trained to do this.

My Brother went into severe depression trying to figure out his illness. He searched and searched on the internet into the morning hours. You do not want to have this happen.

If you are a Radiologist, I apologize upfront. If not, best to let the experts read it IMO.

RE: X-rays
I can tell you this, is this X-ray to me, is all it tells me, is the positioning of the hand could be offset, making it look and apear as something more.

RE: X-rays
I had sent this off to a orthopedic doctor I know in Miami he just sent me and e-mail and said it does indicate an ulnar pos. variance. I also sent him my other x-rays and he compared them.
The only thing is my orthopedic surgeon did not order these x-rays, my pm doctor did. I would assume they would notify my orthopedic doctor
