Elbow Tendon Repair
Elbow tendon repair is a surgical procedure used to treat severely damaged or torn tendons around the elbow joint. Tendon injuries can occur due to overuse, sports activities, trauma, or chronic conditions like tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow, leading to pain, weakness, and limited arm function.
When conservative treatments such as rest, medications, and physiotherapy fail to provide relief, surgical repair may be required. The procedure involves removing damaged tissue and reattaching or repairing the tendon to restore strength, stability, and normal movement of the elbow.
