Elbow

Elbow arthroscopy, also referred to as keyhole or minimally invasive surgery, is a surgical procedure performed through tiny incisions using a camera and specialized instruments to evaluate and treat various 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.

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

Tennis elbow is a common name for the elbow condition lateral epicondylitis.

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).

Ligament reconstruction is considered in patients with ligament rupture.

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.

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

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

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

The common symptoms of injury to the elbow joint and its surrounding structures include swelling and pain, which may extend from the elbow to the forearm and palm, and be aggravated by movements of the wrist.

Cubital tunnel release is a surgical procedure to correct cubital tunnel syndrome.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge treatment option that involves injecting a concentrated solution of platelets obtained from the patient's own blood into the elbow joint.

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

The elbow is a complex joint formed by the articulation of three bones - the humerus, radius, and ulna. Articular cartilage lines the articulating regions of the humerus, radius, and ulna.

Tennis elbow is a common name for the elbow condition lateral epicondylitis.

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 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.

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

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

Elbow stiffness is a condition characterized by a restricted range of motion of the elbow causing difficulty bending, straightening, or rotating your arm.

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. The upper arm bone or humerus connects from the shoulder to the elbow to form the top of the hinge joint.

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.

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.

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.

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

Osteochondritis dissecans is a joint condition in which a piece of cartilage, along with a thin layer of bone separates because of inadequate blood supply.

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.
