Your elbows play a crucial role in your daily activities, from lifting objects to performing fine motor tasks. Dealing with elbow pain or an injury can significantly impact your quality of life, making even simple tasks challenging.

At The Orthopedic Partners, we understand the importance of maintaining healthy and functional elbows, and we are committed to providing top-tier care to restore your mobility and strength.

About the Elbow Joint

The elbow is a complex hinge joint that connects the upper arm to the forearm, enabling a wide range of motion. It is composed of three bones — the humerus, radius, and ulna — supported by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Given its intricate structure and frequent use, the elbow is prone to various injuries and conditions, from overuse to trauma.

Common Elbow Conditions

Our team at The Orthopedic Partners specializes in diagnosing and treating a variety of elbow conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): A condition characterized by pain on the outer part of the elbow, typically caused by repetitive motions of the wrist and arm.
  • Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow but occurs on the inner side of the elbow, often due to repetitive wrist flexion.
  • Elbow Fractures: Breaks or cracks in one of the bones forming the elbow, usually resulting from trauma or falls.
  • Elbow Arthritis: Degeneration of the cartilage within the elbow joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that reduces friction between tissues, often resulting in swelling and pain.
  • Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) Injuries: Often seen in athletes, particularly pitchers, this injury involves a tear in the ligament on the inner side of the elbow.

Advanced Treatment Options

At The Orthopedic Partners, we offer a full spectrum of treatments to address elbow pain and injuries. Our approach is patient-centered, ensuring that your treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs. Treatment options include:

  • Non-surgical Treatments: Many elbow conditions can be effectively managed with non-invasive methods, such as physical therapy, bracing, anti-inflammatory medications, and corticosteroid injections.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: For conditions that do not respond to conservative treatment, our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive procedures like arthroscopy, which allows for faster recovery times and less post-operative discomfort.
