The best choice is 718.83 (Unspecified derangement of joint; forearm) to represent instability. Ulnar impaction syndrome is also known as ulnar abutment syndrome, and can be a common complication after distal radial fracture.

What is Ulnar Impaction Syndrome? Ulnar impaction syndrome occurs when the ulna is relatively larger than it should be when compared to the radius. This forces the ulna to bear more of the weight and force to the wrist on that side of the arm.
Positive ulnar variance describes where the distal articular surface of the ulna is more than 2.5mm distal to the articular surface of the radius. It plays important role in wrist pathology such as ulnar impaction syndromes and thinning of the triangular fibrocartilage complex.
The ulnar nerve runs behind the medial epicondyle on the inside of the elbow. Beyond the elbow, the ulnar nerve travels under muscles on the inside of your forearm and into your hand on the side of the palm with the little finger.
Cubital tunnel syndrome happens when the ulnar nerve, which passes through the cubital tunnel (a tunnel of muscle, ligament, and bone) on the inside of the elbow, is injured and becomes inflamed, swollen, and irritated.
Abstract. Negative ulnar variance is a condition in which the ulna is relatively shorter than the radius at the carpus. It was found in 21% of 203 normal wrists.
Ulnar variance, also known as Hulten variance, refers to the difference in height between the joint surfaces of the distal radius and ulna.
Negative ulnar variance describes a state where the ulna is abnormally shortened (by more than 2.5mm) compared to the radius and plays an important role in wrist pathology.
Ulnar Variance is the length of the ulna compared to the length of the radius at the wrist.
Ulnar deviation is also known as ulnar drift. This hand condition occurs when your knuckle bones, or metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, become swollen and cause your fingers to bend abnormally toward your little finger.
To determine ulnar variance on radiographs, the generally accepted standard view is a posteroanterior view obtained with the wrist in neutral forearm rotation, the elbow flexed 90° and the shoulder abducted 90°.
