ELBOW SURGERY
Total Elbow Replacement
Although elbow joint replacement is much less common than shoulder, hip and knee replacement, it is just as successful in relieving joint pain and returning people to activities they enjoy.
Arthritis is the main cause of a painful and stiff elbow joint requiring treatment. However other causes of disability lead patients to consider elbow joint replacement surgery.
Mr Sydenham will discuss these causes and treatments together with the relevant risks and benefits based on your individual healthcare needs.
Elbow Arthroscopy
Elbow arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that allows the surgeon to view the elbow joint utilising a minimally invasive keyhole technique. Arthroscopy is used to diagnose and treat a wide range of elbow problems. Such conditions include removal of inflamed synovial tissue, trimming of damaged articular cartilage, removal of loose fragments of bone or cartilage and treating elbow infections.
