Tennis Elbow Surgery
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition caused by overuse of the forearm muscles, leading to inflammation and micro-tearing of the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle (the bony prominence on the outside of the elbow).

Tommy John Surgery
Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries involve damage to the key stabilizing ligament on the inner side of the elbow. The UCL is especially important in overhead throwing and repetitive arm motions.
-
Ulnar Nerve Decompression
Ulnar nerve compression occurs when the ulnar nerve becomes irritated or trapped as it travels along the inner side of the elbow, most commonly at the cubital tunnel near the medial epicondyle. The ulnar nerve is one of the major nerves of the arm and controls sensation and fine motor function in the hand, especially the ring and little fingers.
-
Biceps Tendon Repair
The biceps muscle plays an important role in bending the elbow, rotating the forearm, and stabilizing the shoulder. It is anchored by two tendons—one at the shoulder and one at the elbow (distal biceps tendon). When the distal biceps tendon tears, patients often lose strength and the ability to rotate the forearm from palm-down to palm-up.

Elbow Arthroscopy
Elbow arthroscopy, also known as minimally invasive or “keyhole” surgery, is a procedure used to diagnose and treat a wide range of elbow conditions through small incisions.
-
Elbow Joint Replacement
Elbow joint replacement, also called total elbow arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure used to relieve severe elbow pain and restore motion when arthritis or joint damage no longer responds to non-surgical treatment.
