FAQ’S
What kind of doctor works on elbows?
If you should be treated in the emergency department, or if you need to see an orthopaedic specialist or surgeon, the emergency doctor will make the decision. An orthopaedic surgeon can examine you right away in some emergency rooms. You will need to see a neurosurgeon if nerve damage is the cause.
Most non-urgent elbow pain can be treated by primary care doctors, but your doctor can refer you to another doctor for more advanced care. Orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, rheumatologists, physiatrists, physical therapists, and athletic trainers are among the specialists who treat elbow pain and injuries.
What is elbow surgery called?
Elbow Arthroscopy is a technique used by orthopaedic surgeons to look through an elbow joint, identify complications, and fix them. The terms “arthroscopy” and “skopein” are Greek words that mean “joint” and “scopein” (to look). The phrase literally translates to “to look inside the joint.” During elbow arthroscopy, the surgeon inserts a small camera into your elbow joint called an arthroscope. Your surgeon uses the images from the camera to direct miniature surgical instruments, which are shown on a television screen.
How many hours does elbow surgery take?
It is possible that the whole procedure will take a couple of hours. You should anticipate the following in general: You will be given general anaesthesia so that you will be in sleep throughout the procedure and will not experience any pain or discomfort. Alternatively, you might be given a local anaesthetic as well as a sedative to help you relax.
How long is elbow surgery recovery?
The patient may need 6 to 8 weeks to recover after the surgery. However it depends from individual to individual. The patient needs to reduce their activity until the elbow strength and range of motion have returned to normal. They may also be undergoing physical therapy for better results.
