From tendon injuries to arthritis and complex fractures, we provide comprehensive elbow care tailored to your specific needs. With advanced techniques and a compassionate approach, our Bayonne team helps you heal fully and return to the activities you enjoy most.

Elbow Anatomy

The elbow links the humerus in the upper arm to the radius and ulna in the forearm. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments stabilize the joint, enabling you to bend, straighten, and rotate the arm. Due to this complexity and frequent use, the elbow is particularly prone to injury.

Diagnosing Elbow Conditions

At New York Sports & Joints in Bayonne, we take a detailed, patient-first approach to diagnosing elbow problems. Our team combines hands-on evaluation with advanced imaging tools such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans to pinpoint the source of pain or dysfunction. When necessary, nerve conduction studies are performed to detect compression or nerve damage, ensuring a precise diagnosis.

Treatment Options for Elbow Injuries

Our specialists provide a full spectrum of nonsurgical and surgical solutions to restore strength, mobility, and comfort in the elbow:

Common Elbow Injuries and Conditions

Elbow concerns can stem from sudden trauma or ongoing wear and tear. Some of the most frequent issues include:

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): Overuse of the forearm muscles leading to pain along the outer side of the elbow.
  • Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow, but pain and irritation occur on the inside of the joint.
  • Elbow fractures: Breaks in the bone are often caused by falls or direct impact.
  • Elbow dislocations: When the bones of the elbow are pushed out of their normal position.
  • Bursitis: Swelling or inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the joint.
  • Osteoarthritis: Gradual breakdown of cartilage in the elbow, leading to stiffness and pain.
  • Tendonitis: Irritation or inflammation of the tendons, typically from repetitive motion.
  • Ulnar nerve entrapment: Pressure on the ulnar nerve can cause tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hand and arm.
