Alan, I have had a bunch of back and wrist surgeries so I am in a similar situation. I am also a weirdo that is ulnar positive, where my ulna is longer than the radius. I have tried every kind of bar looking for comfort and pain relief. My solution is swept dropped bars, mounted high. I found I need the bottom at the same height as the seat. The lower position is not too low to use as my default position and is where I normally ride, while the hoods and tops offer a 'sit upright and take a break' position. Being able to move my hands around helps prevent the worst of hand numbness and pain. As far as 'flat' bars, I would highly recommend the Sycip Singles Bar. For me on my Atlantis, it is the perfect flat bar. They are wide, have a nice sweep, are absorbent, and reasonably priced. I have tried the Albatross, Moustache, Albastache, and some Ti swept bars, and the Sycip won.
