Today at library I checked the diary of Ugaki 'Senso-Roku' published in 1968. Wounded place was as Windward quoted. His diary did not mention the fracture in the left arm. There were much more light wound on face, head, back and so on.
He went out of the navy hospital to his home in Nov.30 1943 but still he was in rest. In Feb.22 1944 he went to the Navy office and was told that he would be assigned as a squadron commander. Official order was dated as Feb 25. He arrived at Kure naval base in Feb 29 (Yes, it was 1944).
