Keyhole surgery for stiffness, loose fragments, and Tennis Elbow that has not settled.
Elbow Arthroscopy Treatment
Three bones meet at the elbow: the humerus from above, and the ulna and radius from the forearm. The joint bends and straightens, the radius also rotates so the palm can turn up and down, and collateral ligaments on the inside and the outside hold it together. There is very little room in the joint, which is why the elbow is prone to stiffness: anything occupying that room, whether a loose fragment, a spur or thickened lining, is felt quickly. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, performs Elbow Arthroscopy for Tennis Elbow that has not settled, stiffness, loose fragments and, in some cases, Arthritis.
The Rehabilitation Protocol
Ask About a ConsultationThis is the physical therapy protocol the practice gives its own patients after this operation. It is written for the period after surgery, for you and for your therapist, and your own plan is set by Dr. Abbasi at your follow-up.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
How long will I be off work?
It depends on what was done. Light work is often possible within days; a procedure for stiffness or a spur takes longer, up to about three months for full activity.
Why is nerve injury mentioned specifically for the elbow?
The nerves that supply the hand cross the elbow very close to where the instruments go. Temporary numbness or tingling is not unusual; permanent injury is uncommon but is a real risk and is discussed beforehand.
Will the stiffness come back?
It can, which is why the therapy afterwards matters as much as the operation where stiffness was the reason for it.
Do you take insurance?
Medicare and most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.To check your plan, call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment.
