Elbow

Elbow arthroscopy, also referred to as keyhole or minimally invasive surgery, is a surgical procedure that is performed through tiny incisions to evaluate and treat several elbow conditions.

Commonly called Tommy John surgery, this procedure involves reconstructing a damaged ligament on the inside of the elbow called the ulnar or medial collateral ligament with a tendon graft obtained from your own body or a donor.

Golfer’s elbow is a condition associated with pain on the inside of the elbow where tendons of your forearm attach to the bony prominence (medial epicondyle).

Elbow surgery is a surgical procedure for the treatment of an elbow injury or elbow condition.

Biceps tendon repair is a surgical procedure to restore a biceps tendon that has been torn or ruptured by severe trauma or injury.

The biceps is a large muscle located in the front of your upper arm and runs from the shoulder to the elbow joint.

Elbow joint replacement, also referred to as total elbow arthroplasty, is an operative procedure to treat the symptoms of arthritis that have not responded to non-surgical treatments.

The elbow is a complex joint of the upper limb formed by the articulation of the long bone of the upper arm or humerus and the two bones of the forearm, namely, radius and ulna.

Elbow fracture reconstruction is a surgical procedure employed to repair and restore the appearance and full function of a damaged elbow caused by severe trauma or injury.

Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition characterized by compression of the ulnar nerve in an area of the elbow called the cubital tunnel.

Ulnar nerve release, also known as ulnar nerve decompression, is a surgical procedure to treat a medical condition called ulnar nerve entrapment.

Triceps repair is a surgical procedure that involves the repair of a ruptured (torn) triceps tendon.

Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment method used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions, including Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis).

Although the elbows are not weight-bearing joints, they are considered to be most important for the functioning of the upper limbs.

Elbow osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects the elbow, causing the smooth cartilage that lines the ends of the bones (humerus, radius, and ulna) to gradually wear away.

Elbow ligament injuries are injuries to the tough elastic tissues that connect the bones of the elbow joint to each other.

Complex nerve injuries in the upper extremity can cause weakness, loss of sensation, pain, or loss of fine motor control.

Failed upper extremity surgery refers to any surgical procedure on the shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, or hand that does not achieve its intended results.

When the elbow is bent, the ulnar nerve can stretch and catch on the bony bump. When the ulnar nerve is compressed or entrapped, the nerve can tear and become inflamed,

Tennis elbow is a common name for the elbow condition lateral epicondylitis. It is an overuse injury that causes inflammation and microtears of the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle.

Golfer’s elbow, also called medial epicondylitis, is a painful condition occurring from repeated muscle contractions in the forearm that leads to inflammation and microtears in the tendons that attach to the medial epicondyle.

An elbow sprain is an injury to the soft tissues of the elbow. It is caused due to stretching or tearing (partial or full) of the ligaments that support the elbow joint.

Elbow fractures may occur from trauma, resulting from various reasons: a fall on an outstretched arm, a direct blow to the elbow or an abnormal twist to the joint beyond its functional limit.

Elbow instability is a condition in which the elbow joint occasionally slides out of alignment due to the unstable state of the joint.

A biceps tear can be complete or partial. Partial biceps tendon tears will not completely break the tendon while complete tendon tears will break the tendon into two parts.

Elbow stiffness is a condition characterized by a restricted range of motion of the elbow causing difficulty bending, straightening, or rotating your arm. Elbow stiffness may be caused due to injury, disease, or deformity.

Elbow impingement is a medical condition characterized by compression and injury of soft tissue structures, such as cartilage, at the back of the elbow or within the elbow joint.

The triceps or triceps brachii is a crucial muscle of the upper arm (humerus). It runs along the upper arm bone between the shoulder and elbow.

The arm in the human body is made up of three bones that join to form a hinge joint called the elbow.

A snapping elbow (SE) is a rare condition, where the distal part of the triceps tendon will snap over the bony prominence on the inside of the elbow during elbow flexion and extension.

The elbow is a complex joint formed by the articulation of three bones – the humerus, radius, and ulna.

Damage to any of the structures that make up the elbow joint can cause elbow pain.

Radial head fractures are very common and occur in almost 20% of acute elbow injuries. Elbow dislocations are generally associated with radial head fractures.

Ulnar nerve neuropathy is the entrapment or compression of the ulnar nerve causing impairment of its function.

An athlete uses an overhand throw to achieve greater speed and distance. Repeated throwing in sports such as baseball and basketball can place a lot of stress on the joints of the arm, and lead to weakening and ultimately, injury to the structures in the elbow.

The biceps is a large muscle present in front of the upper arm, extending from the shoulder joint to the elbow.
