What Does Ossified Fragment Adjacent To The Ulnar Styloid Likely Related To Prior Trauma Mean?

what is an ossified fragment adjacent to the ulnar styloid likely related to prior trauma? in notes after Emergency Dept. x-rayed my arm after I fractured my wrist playing tennis. The orthopaedic physician (Specialist) said that I was probably about 10 years old. I couldn t remember anything. What kind of trauma would cause this?

Hi even a minor injury at young age like sprain can cause formation of small ossified fragments near the joint. If it did not give you trouble for such a long time then it is unlikely to give trouble now. So just concentrate on the treatment of current wrist fracture.
