Description of Elbow Surgery:
What is Elbow Surgery?
The elbow joint is made of ligaments that can sometimes be injured. If this happens, one requires surgery to repair any injury that may have arisen. The main causes of injuries to the elbow is usually overuse, old age and some unknown reasons. It will normally have ramifications such as excruciating pain and inability to move the elbow.
The diagnosis of the elbow is usually done through modern technology. You may have already heard of arthroscopy of the knee but unaware that it can be performed on the elbow as well. The doctor makes a small incision in the elbow and inserts a camera. The image is magnified many times over.This allows him or her to determine if the elbow is badly injured and requires surgery. The procedure itself is conducted on an outpatient basis. That means a stay at the hospital overnight is not necessary.
Other tests:
- An X-ray test may be recommended by the diagnosing doctor to assist his or her conclusion.
- An MRI scan of the neck may be recommended. Sometimes arthritis of the desk and herniated disks can cause arm pain.
- An EMG may also be performed. This will eliminate the likelihood of nerve compression being responsible for nerve pain
Surgical Treatment
The surgery may be either open or non-intrusive. This will entail making a cut over the elbow to perform repairs. At times, arthroscopic surgery is performed. It entails inserting instruments through a tiny incision in the elbow. The type of procedure will depend on the type of injury the elbow has suffered.
