We individualize the treatment plan to your needs to provide the best care possible for you. Our goal is always to provide treatment that balances the fastest recovery possible with our patients’ overall health and well-being. Our most common procedures include the following:

  • Elbow arthroscopy
  • Total elbow replacement
  • Cubital tunnel release
  • Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
  • Biceps and triceps tendon repair

Elbow Treatments

The elbow, consisting of the humerus, radius, and ulna, is crucial for rotating the forearm and providing power to the upper body. Its lateral and medial epicondyles help straighten and extend the wrist and fingers, while the ulnar nerve innervates hand muscles for fine motor activity.

Common Elbow Procedures at Our Clinic

Elbow Arthroscopy

We insert a small camera into the elbow through small incisions. This helps us diagnose and treat conditions such as arthritis, stiffness, and cartilage defects. This minimally-invasive approach reduces soft tissue dissection, leading to a faster recovery with fewer complications.

Total Elbow Replacement

Total elbow replacement treats elbow arthritis by replacing the damaged parts of the elbow joint with artificial components. The artificial joint is made up of a metal and plastic hinge with two metal stems that fit inside the hollow part of the bone canal. Patients experience resolution of their pain and improved elbow motion and function.

Cubital Tunnel Release

Cubital tunnel release is a procedure that decompresses the nerve at the elbow by releasing the overlying soft tissue and potentially moving the nerve out of the cubital tunnel. This resolves the hand numbness and elbow pain commonly associated with the condition.

Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow Treatment

Initial management of tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow involves non-surgical options like splinting, injections, and physical therapy. If this approach fails to relieve pain, surgery may be considered. A small incision is made at the side of the elbow. The diseased tissue is removed and the tendons are repaired to reduce pain and improve mobility.

Biceps and Triceps Tendon Repair

Biceps and triceps tendon repair involves re-attaching the torn biceps or triceps tendon to the bone using small metal implants. We use an innovative single-incision technique that helps reduce complications and leads to a faster recovery.
