An open elbow reduction is usually reserved for an elbow dislocation that may be complicated by concomitant fractures or unstable reduction. Extensive soft tissue and ligamentous injury may also need to be addressed during surgery as well as any bony loose bodies or fractures. Generally, motion will begin within a few days after surgery with a therapist and a specific protocol to avoid stiffness.
Our world-class orthopedic surgeons have years of experience treating elbow conditions. We believe that even the simplest problems should be evaluated by a specialist.
As our patient, you will have an in-depth consultation with one of our doctors. We will create an individualized treatment plan together, tailored to your problem and lifestyle. Our doctors prefer non-invasive treatments whenever possible, including physical therapy and/or injections. If your problem ultimately does require surgery, our doctors prefer the least invasive surgical techniques possible. Our goals are the same as yours: to get you back to living your best life, pain free.
