Elbow
The elbow is a pivotal joint that facilitates essential movements in our daily lives, from bending and straightening to rotating and lifting. However, elbows are also susceptible to a range of injuries and orthopedic conditions.
At McNamara Hand, we specialize in providing expert care for a diverse range of elbow injuries and orthopedic issues. Under the guidance of Dr. Michael McNamara, a distinguished orthopedic surgeon renowned for his expertise in hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder care, our clinic is committed to delivering personalized treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
- Fractures and Dislocations: Elbow fractures and dislocations can occur due to falls, sports injuries, or traumatic accidents, resulting in pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. Our team utilizes advanced imaging techniques and innovative surgical interventions to accurately diagnose and effectively treat these injuries, restoring stability and function to the elbow joint.
- Tendon and Ligament Injuries: Tendon and ligament injuries, such as tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), can cause pain, weakness, and restricted movement in the elbow. Our comprehensive approach to treatment encompasses non-surgical therapies, including physical therapy and corticosteroid injections, as well as surgical solutions for severe cases, to optimize recovery and restore elbow function.
- Arthritis: Arthritis can affect the elbow joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling that impair daily activities. Our multidisciplinary team offers a range of treatment options, including medications, injections, and surgical interventions, to manage symptoms and improve joint health for patients with elbow arthritis.
Total Elbow Replacement: For individuals with severe arthritis or irreparable damage to the elbow joint, total elbow replacement surgery may be recommended. This procedure involves removing damaged bone and cartilage and replacing them with artificial components to restore function and alleviate pain. Dr. McNamara specializes in total elbow replacement surgery, utilizing advanced techniques and implants to provide optimal outcomes for patients seeking relief from debilitating elbow arthritis.
We recognize the significant impact that elbow injuries can have on your quality of life. Our commitment to compassionate care, combined with state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatment modalities, ensures that each patient receives the highest quality of care throughout their journey to recovery.
If you’re experiencing elbow pain, discomfort, or limited mobility due to an injury or condition, don’t hesitate to seek treatment.
