Specialised Elbow Surgery for Fracture and Joint Reconstruction in Hyderabad


Elbow fractures

Elbow fractures can occur due to falls, twisting injuries or blunt force trauma. Elbow fractures can be addressed with surgical or non-surgical treatments, depending on the severity of the break.

Reasons for Surgery

  • Severe pain and instability: When conservative treatments fail to provide adequate pain relief and improve joint stability.
  • Ligament tears: Damage to ligaments supporting the elbow joint, leading to instability and pain.
  • Fractures: Complex fractures involving the elbow joint that require surgical reconstruction for proper healing.
  • Post-traumatic deformities: Deformities of the elbow joint resulting from a previous injury, causing pain and limited movement.
  • Bone loss: Loss of bone tissue in the elbow joint due to infection, tumour, or other conditions.

The Surgery Process

  • Pre-operative planning: We will discuss your medical history, symptoms, and expectations, and determine if arthroscopic shoulder surgery is the right option for you.
  • Anaesthesia: You will receive general or regional anaesthesia to keep you pain-free during the surgery.
  • Surgery: The surgeon makes small incisions and inserts the arthroscope and instruments to visualise and address the underlying issue.
  • Closure: The incisions are closed with stitches or staples.

Recovery

  • Sling immobilization: Your arm will be immobilized in a sling for several weeks to protect the healing tissues.
  • Pain management: Medication will be prescribed to manage pain and discomfort.
  • Physical therapy: Gradual exercises will be started to regain strength, motion, and stability in the shoulder joint.
  • Follow-up visits : Regular checkups with your doctor will monitor your progress and ensure proper healing.
