Elbow reconstruction
Elbow reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing or rebuilding damaged tissues in the elbow joint. This may involve fixing torn ligaments, removing unstable bone fragments, or restoring stability to the joint. It's often done for individuals with severe injuries, arthritis, or chronic instability that affects their arm's function. The surgery usually helps reduce pain, improve movement, and allow patients to return to daily activities or sports. Recovery can involve physical therapy to regain strength and flexibility, ensuring the elbow can function effectively after the procedure.
