Elbow
Anatomy of the Elbow
The elbow is a complex joint formed by the articulation of three bones – the humerus, radius, and ulna. The elbow joint helps in bending or straightening of the arm to 180 degrees and lifting or moving objects.
Total Elbow Replacement
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.
Partial Elbow Replacement
Partial elbow replacement is a surgical procedure performed to replace only the damaged or diseased portions of your elbow joint
UCL Reconstruction (Tommy John Surgery)
Commonly called Tommy John surgery, this procedure involves reconstructing a damaged ligament on the inside of the elbow called the ulnar
Distal Biceps Repair
The biceps is a large muscle located in the front of your upper arm and runs from the shoulder to the elbow joint.
Elbow Fracture Reconstruction
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.
Distal Humerus Resection and Reconstruction
Injury in the distal humerus can cause impairment in the function of the elbow joint. A distal humerus fracture is a rare condition that occurs when there is a break in the lower end of the humerus.
Biceps Tendon Repair
Biceps tendon repair is a surgical procedure to restore a biceps tendon that has been torn or ruptured by severe trauma or injury.
Elbow Ligament Reconstruction
The elbow joint is supported by the ulnar collateral ligament, radial collateral ligament, and the annular ligament.
Tennis elbow Surgery
Tennis elbow is a common name for the elbow condition lateral epicondylitis.
Triceps Repair
Triceps repair is a surgical procedure that involves the repair of a ruptured (torn) triceps tendon.
Golfer's Elbow Surgery
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 Flexor Tendon Tear Repair
Elbow flexor tendon tear repair is a surgical procedure to restore function and strength to a torn flexor tendon in the elbow.
Elbow Arthritis
Although the elbows are not weight-bearing joints, they are considered to be most important for the functioning of the upper limbs.
Bicep Tendon Tear at the Elbow
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.
Golfer's Elbow
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.
Elbow Pain
Damage to any of the structures that make up the elbow joint can cause elbow pain.
Elbow Fractures
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 Stiffness
Elbow stiffness is a condition characterized by a restricted range of motion of the elbow causing difficulty bending, straightening, or rotating your arm.
Triceps Injuries
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.
Elbow Ligament Injuries
Elbow ligament injuries are injuries to the tough elastic tissues that connect the bones of the elbow joint to each other.
Rheumatoid Elbow
Rheumatoid elbow is a chronic, progressive type of arthritis characterized by swelling and inflammation of the joint lining of the elbow.
Epicondylitis
Epicondylitis is an inflammation of the tendons surrounding the epicondyle, which is the bony protuberance in the elbow.
Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) Injury
The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), also called the medial collateral ligament, is located on the inside of the elbow and connects the ulna bone to the humerus bone.
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (Ulnar Nerve Entrapment)
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, leading to cubital tunnel syndrome.
Elbow Injuries
The elbow is a complex joint formed by the articulation of three bones – the humerus, radius, and ulna.
Distal Biceps Injuries
The biceps is a large muscle present in front of the upper arm, extending from the shoulder joint to the elbow.
Distal Biceps Avulsion
The biceps muscle, located in the front of the upper arm, allows you to bend the elbow and rotate the arm.
Distal Humerus Fractures of the Elbow
Injury in the distal humerus can cause impairment in the function of the elbow joint.
Radial Head Fractures of the Elbow
Radial head fractures are very common and occur in almost 20% of acute elbow injuries.
Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injuries (Elbow)
A ligament is a band of elastic, tough fibrous connective tissue around a joint. It attaches bone to bone, supports and holds them together and limits the joint's movement.
