It sounds as though your brother had an ulnar shortening osteotomy. This usually requires the use of a plate and screws for stabilization. There certainly is a risk of delayed healing or even nonunion. If possible, reply to this post---and scroll down to where it says "mamage attachments". You should be able to upload xray pics if you have them.
