Elbow Injuries and Disorders

Elbow Injuries and Disorders

Our Orthopedic Department specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of elbow injuries and disorders, providing expert care for both acute and chronic conditions. We treat a range of elbow issues, including tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, bursitis, fractures, ligament tears, dislocations, and nerve compression syndromes such as cubital tunnel syndrome.

Our team uses advanced diagnostic techniques and personalized treatment plans to deliver precise and effective care. We prioritize restoring elbow mobility, reducing pain, and preventing further complications through both conservative and surgical interventions.

For mild to moderate elbow conditions, we offer non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, bracing, and corticosteroid injections. These conservative approaches aim to reduce inflammation, improve range of motion, and strengthen the surrounding muscles.

For severe or chronic elbow conditions, we provide advanced surgical procedures, including elbow arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, and joint replacement surgery. Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time and promote faster healing.

Post-operative rehabilitation programs are designed to enhance recovery, improve elbow stability, and restore full function. Our physiotherapy team employs targeted exercises and strength training to accelerate healing and prevent recurrence.

We prioritize comprehensive pain management strategies throughout the treatment process. This includes oral medications, localized corticosteroid injections, and nerve blocks to alleviate discomfort and promote faster recovery.

Our orthopedic specialists focus on long-term care and preventive strategies, offering lifestyle modifications and ergonomic recommendations to reduce the risk of recurring elbow injuries.

For patients with chronic conditions such as arthritis or repetitive strain injuries, we provide ongoing management plans, including joint preservation strategies and regular follow-ups to monitor disease progression.

Our multidisciplinary approach ensures collaboration between orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and pain management specialists, delivering holistic and patient-centered care.

We are committed to helping individuals achieve lasting pain relief, improved range of motion, and enhanced quality of life through expert elbow care.

Diagnostic Tests

X-ray

Used to detect fractures, dislocations, and bone abnormalities in the elbow joint.

CT Scan

Provides detailed cross-sectional images to assess complex fractures and joint alignment issues.

Electromyography (EMG)

Measures nerve function and detects conditions such as cubital tunnel syndrome or nerve compression.

Ultrasound

Helps visualize soft tissue injuries, including tendon tears and ligament damage.

Blood Tests

Checks for signs of infection, inflammation, or underlying conditions contributing to elbow pain.

Precautions and Care Tips

• Avoid repetitive elbow movements and heavy lifting to prevent further strain on the joint.
• Use supportive braces or splints to stabilize the elbow and reduce stress during recovery.
• Apply ice packs or cold compresses to the affected area to reduce swelling and pain.
• Perform gentle stretching and range-of-motion exercises to prevent stiffness and promote flexibility.
• Follow your doctor’s guidelines regarding physical therapy and rehabilitation programs.
• Take prescribed medications as directed to manage pain and inflammation effectively.
• Use ergonomic adjustments, such as padded armrests and proper workstation setup, to prevent strain on the elbow.
• Avoid sudden or forceful arm movements during the healing process.
• Gradually increase physical activity levels to prevent re-injury or overuse.
• Attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and ensure proper healing.

• Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans for various elbow injuries and disorders.
• Faster recovery with minimally invasive surgical techniques.
• Enhanced mobility and reduced pain through targeted rehabilitation programs.
• Comprehensive pain management strategies for improved comfort during recovery.
• Reduced risk of recurrence with preventive care and ergonomic guidance.
• Improved quality of life through effective long-term management and follow-up care.
