Elbow Conditions We Treat

The elbow joint is a sophisticated structure of bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Its complexity makes it susceptible to various injuries and degenerative conditions. Our team has the expertise to diagnose and treat a full spectrum of elbow issues, including:

  • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain on the outside of the elbow caused by overuse and inflammation of the tendons.
  • Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow, but causing pain on the inside of the elbow.
  • Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Numbness and tingling in the hand and fingers caused by pressure on the ulnar nerve (the "funny bone").
  • Elbow Arthritis: Inflammation and degeneration of the joint cartilage, leading to swelling and stiffness.
  • Elbow Bursitis: Swelling and inflammation of the olecranon bursa, a fluid-filled sac at the tip of the elbow.
  • Elbow Fractures and Dislocations: Traumatic injuries that require expert evaluation and precise treatment to ensure proper healing.
  • Tendon and Ligament Tears: Injuries to the soft tissues that stabilize the elbow, often resulting from sports or trauma.

Our Approach to Elbow Treatment

Your path to recovery begins with a thorough evaluation. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to achieve an accurate diagnosis, which forms the foundation of your personalized treatment plan. Whenever possible, we begin with conservative, non-surgical options to manage symptoms and promote healing.

Non-Surgical Treatments may include:

  • Bracing or Splinting
  • Targeted Physical Therapy
  • Anti-Inflammatory Medications
  • Corticosteroid Injections
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Advanced Surgical Solutions

When non-operative treatments are not enough, or for more severe injuries, surgery may be the most effective path to restoring function and long-term relief. Dr. Strasburger and the Sagewell team are skilled in the latest minimally invasive and traditional surgical techniques for the elbow. Our goal is to perform the most effective, least invasive procedure possible to help you achieve the best outcome with a smoother recovery.

Surgical options may include:

  • Arthroscopic Surgery for debridement and removal of loose bodies
  • Tendon and Ligament Repair
  • Nerve Decompression (for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome)
  • Fracture Fixation
  • Total Elbow Replacement (Arthroplasty)
