When the cartilage in the elbow becomes worn or injured, elbow arthritis develops. Overuse due to ageing and repetitive activities, as well as injury, such as a fracture or dislocation, can cause damage.
Elbow arthritis can be excruciatingly painful, making it difficult to do regular tasks that require bending your arm. If you're suffering from elbow arthritis, a Penn orthopaedic specialist can help you find relief and regain full elbow function.
Symptoms:
If your elbow arthritis pain is interfering with your daily life and conservative treatments have failed to provide relief, you may be a candidate for elbow arthritis surgery. If surgery is the best option for you, you and your orthopaedic surgeon will decide. We provide the most up-to-date surgical treatments to restore optimum function and decrease pain in your elbow. Advanced arthroscopic treatments, total elbow replacement, and soft-tissue restoration of tendons, ligaments, and muscles are among the operations available.
