Common Elbow Injuries
1. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Tennis elbow is a condition marked by pain on the outer side of the elbow due to inflammation of the tendons attached to the lateral epicondyle, a bony prominence. Despite its name, this injury isn’t limited to tennis players—it often affects individuals engaged in repetitive arm and wrist movements, such as painters, carpenters, or mechanics.
Symptoms:
– Pain and tenderness on the outer elbow
– Weak grip strength
– Difficulty lifting or gripping objects
– Burning sensation in the elbow
Causes:
– Repeated forearm motions
– Activities like hammering, painting, or using tools
– Sports involving racquet swings or repetitive arm movements
Treatment:
– Rest and activity modification
– Ice application to reduce swelling
– Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications
– Physical therapy for strengthening and stretching
– In severe cases, surgical intervention to repair damaged tendons
2. Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inner side of the elbow, where tendons attach to the medial epicondyle. It results from repetitive stress on the muscles and tendons of the forearm and is not exclusive to golfers. Activities like throwing, lifting, or swinging can trigger this condition.
Symptoms:
– Pain and stiffness on the inner elbow
– Weakness in the wrist and hand
– Tingling or numbness extending to the fingers
Causes:
– Repetitive gripping or wrist flexion
– Activities like golfing, throwing, or using hand tools
– Poor technique in sports or heavy lifting
Treatment:
– Rest and icing to manage inflammation
– Stretching and strengthening exercises under supervision
– Anti-inflammatory medications or steroid injections for relief
– Bracing to limit movement and support recovery
– Rarely, surgery may be required in severe cases
3. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve, which runs through the cubital tunnel on the inside of the elbow, becomes compressed or irritated. This condition can lead to discomfort and nerve-related symptoms in the arm and hand.
Symptoms:
– Pain or tingling in the forearm and fingers
– Numbness in the ring and pinky fingers
– Weakness in gripping objects or fine motor skills
Causes:
– Frequent elbow bending or leaning on the elbow
– Direct trauma to the elbow
– Prolonged pressure on the ulnar nerve
Treatment:
– Activity modification to reduce nerve irritation
– Anti-inflammatory medications to manage swelling
– Bracing or splinting to limit elbow movement
– Nerve decompression surgery in severe or persistent cases
Our Elbow Treatments
Ligament Reconstruction
For patients with chronic elbow instability or ligament tears, reconstruction procedures restore strength and stability, preventing further injuries and allowing for a full range of motion.
Cartilage Restoration
When cartilage damage affects the elbow joint, cartilage restoration techniques help reduce pain and improve joint function, offering long-term relief for conditions like osteoarthritis or injury-related wear.
Arthroscopic Repairs
Arthroscopy allows us to diagnose and treat issues within the elbow joint with a minimally invasive approach. This technique is effective for treating conditions like loose bodies, tendon tears, and joint inflammation, promoting a faster recovery and minimizing downtime.
