Sprain Diagnosis explaination needed!!!?

Question

I need to find out what my x-ray results mean. They came back saying i may have already had some injury to my wrist prior to a sprain - a "mild negative ulnar variance". I'm off to a pediatric specialist but i was wondering what it was before I go.

Anyone here know!?

Thanks

Answer 1

Did you say pediatric specialist? Are you still a child? Shouldn't you be seeing an orthopedist? That Xray reading simply says your ulna is not where it should be normally-just a little off line, maybe. As long as you are able to use the hand and wrist properly, you should not be worried.
