Elbow Anatomy

The elbow, made up of three bones and a web of supporting tissues, allows for smooth and precise arm movement. However, its complexity also makes it highly susceptible to overuse, trauma, and instability, especially in active individuals and athletes.

Comprehensive Diagnostics at NY Sports & Joints

We use a combination of physical exams and high-resolution imaging—X-rays, MRI, and CT scans—to diagnose elbow conditions accurately. If nerve issues are suspected, specialized nerve conduction tests help us determine the extent and location of compression or damage.

What Could Be Causing Your Elbow Pain?

Elbow discomfort may arise from overuse, sudden trauma, or natural aging. We treat a wide variety of conditions, such as:

  • Tennis Elbow: Outer elbow pain from repeated motion.
  • Golfer’s Elbow: Inner elbow pain, also from repetitive stress.
  • Fractures and Dislocations: Common sports or fall-related injuries.
  • Bursitis: Painful swelling caused by inflammation in the joint’s cushioning sacs.
  • Arthritis: Stiffness or grinding from cartilage degeneration.
  • Tendonitis: Irritation of overworked tendons.
  • Nerve Compression (Ulnar Entrapment): Tingling or weakness from pressure on the ulnar nerve.
