Distal end of ulna is above than radius ( ur fractured bone), that's positive ulnar variance, that should have been corrected initially. Anyway bone is maluniting now. Let's not disturb it now. It should be ok to some extent after complete malunion. But too much work may cause pain and swelling hereafter.
