Nonsurgical treatment options will be recommended first when developing an individualized treatment plan. These methods may include receiving physical therapy, wearing a brace, or taking over-the-counter medication. These nonsurgical approaches can reduce or even eliminate elbow pain.
If nonoperative care is ineffective or becomes less effective over time, our elbow surgeon will discuss surgical options with you to help you determine which surgery is right for you. Our surgeon has the expertise and exceptional skills needed to perform the required surgery as well as access to the latest surgical equipment, which helps ensure the best outcome possible.
Our surgeon is prepared to educate you and answer any questions you may have regarding your recommended surgical options.
With years of experience and orthopedic training, our elbow doctor assesses, diagnoses, and treats elbow injuries as well as other conditions that can develop in the elbow, such as tennis elbow and bursitis.
Our expert offers a wide array of traditional treatment methods as well as state-of-the-art surgeries, including arthroscopic repair.
Using an arthroscope, or small surgical camera, the surgeon repairs damaged tissue or removes loose fragments in the joint. This allows for better movement and reduced pain. Arthroscopic repair is a minimally invasive surgical technique, meaning it allows for smaller incisions and less tissue damage compared to traditional open surgery.
Bracing and splinting involve using a support or device to protect and stabilize the affected area, often reducing pain and improving function. It can be used as a primary treatment for some conditions, such as ankle sprains. Bracing and splinting may involve custom-made devices or off-the-shelf products, depending on the specific needs of the patient and the type of injury or condition being treated.
This surgery typically involves removing damaged tissue from the affected area or reattaching torn tendons to the bone. Tennis elbow repair may be performed as open surgery or arthroscopic surgery, with arthroscopic surgery being minimally invasive.
