Elbow Surgery Techniques

Elbow surgery techniques vary based on the injury or condition. Common methods include arthroscopy, where small cameras and tools are inserted through tiny cuts to repair or remove damaged tissue, minimizing pain and recovery time. Open surgery involves larger incisions for more extensive repairs, such as fixing fractures or ligament tears. Other approaches include nerve release procedures for pinched nerves or tendon repair for tears. Surgeons choose the technique based on the specific problem, aiming to restore normal function, reduce pain, and promote healing. Post-surgery typically involves a structured rehabilitation plan to regain strength and mobility.
