Non-Surgical Treatment Options:
We prioritize non-invasive treatments to help patients recover without the need for surgery. These options include:
- Physical Therapy: Tailored rehabilitation programs to improve flexibility, strength, and mobility in the elbow joint.
- Bracing and Support: Elbow braces or sleeves to stabilize the joint and reduce pain.
- Corticosteroid Injections: To reduce inflammation and provide pain relief for conditions like tennis elbow or tendonitis.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: An injection therapy to promote healing of damaged tissues by using the patient’s own blood platelets.
- Medications: Pain relief and anti-inflammatory medications to help manage symptoms and promote healing.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Recommendations for ergonomic adjustments or changes in activity to prevent further strain on the elbow.
Surgical Treatment Options:
If conservative treatments do not provide adequate relief, our orthopedic surgeons offer advanced surgical options for elbow conditions:
- Tennis Elbow Surgery: Surgery to remove damaged tissue from the tendon and reattach healthy tissue, in cases of severe or persistent tennis elbow.
- Golfer’s Elbow Surgery: A procedure to repair or remove damaged tissue from the tendons in the elbow, addressing medial epicondylitis.
- Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery using a small camera to repair damage or remove inflamed tissue in the elbow joint.
- Elbow Fracture Repair: Surgical intervention to fix fractures in the elbow bones, using plates, screws, or pins to stabilize the bones and aid in healing.
- Elbow Reconstruction: In cases of severe ligament damage, such as ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tears, reconstruction surgery can restore stability and function.
- Arthroplasty (Joint Replacement): For patients with severe arthritis or joint deterioration, we perform elbow joint replacement to relieve pain and improve function.
- Triceps and Biceps Tendon Repair: If either tendon is torn or ruptured, surgery may be needed to reattach or reconstruct the tendon for improved function.
