EXPERT CARE FROM AN EXPERT ORTHOPEDIC ELBOW SURGEON
How We Treat Elbow Pain
Elbow pain can develop from repetitive motion, trauma, or wear and tear over time. At The Center for Bone & Joint Disease, we provide comprehensive, individualized care, starting with a precise diagnosis and continuing through every stage of recovery.
We commonly treat issues like:
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Elbow arthritis and joint degeneration
- Tendonitis and soft tissue inflammation
- Bursitis from repetitive stress or pressure
- Elbow instability or locking from joint degeneration, ligament injuries, or cartilage damage
- Fractures, dislocations, and trauma
- Post-traumatic stiffness from previous injuries
For many patients, non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, activity modification, bracing, or steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and restore mobility. Our in-house therapy team provides one-on-one sessions focused on regaining strength, flexibility, and function in the elbow joint.
For more advanced conditions, we offer surgical options, including:
- Tendon release or repair for severe tendonitis and tennis elbow
- Fracture stabilization and reconstruction for complex injuries
- Elbow joint replacement for advanced arthritis or joint destruction
Our orthopedic surgeons use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to ensure quicker recovery and reduced downtime. We’ll guide you through every step, from diagnosis to post-op rehab, with coordinated care that’s easy to navigate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is tennis elbow, and how is it treated?
Tennis elbow is an overuse injury affecting the outer tendons of the elbow. Treatment usually starts with physical therapy, bracing, and rest. If symptoms persist, we may recommend injections or outpatient surgery.
When is elbow joint replacement necessary?
Elbow replacement is typically considered when arthritis or joint damage causes chronic pain and limited motion, especially after other treatments haven’t worked.
How is elbow tendonitis treated?
Elbow tendonitis treatment often includes rest, therapy, ice, bracing, and injections. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be required.
What options are available for elbow bursitis treatment?
Mild cases of bursitis can be managed with rest and medication. If fluid buildup or inflammation recurs, aspiration or surgical removal of the bursa may be needed.
Can elbow fractures be treated without surgery?
Yes. Some stable or minor fractures respond well to rest and immobilization. However, surgery is often recommended for displaced or complex fractures to realign bones and ensure proper healing.
