Elbow Anatomy

The elbow is a complex hinge joint where the upper arm bone (humerus) meets the two forearm bones (radius and ulna). Surrounded by muscles, ligaments, and tendons, it enables bending, straightening, and rotation of the arm. This high degree of mobility also makes it especially prone to injury.

Accurate Diagnosis Is the First Step

At NY Sports & Joints, our specialists begin with a detailed physical examination and a complete history of your symptoms. We use advanced imaging—such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans—to visualize the joint and surrounding structures. If nerve involvement is suspected, we may perform nerve conduction studies to assess function and identify any compression or damage.

Understanding Elbow Injuries and Conditions

Elbow problems may result from sudden trauma or long-term wear. Common conditions include:

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Outer elbow pain caused by repetitive motion or overuse.
Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow, but affects the inner part of the elbow.
Fractures: Breaks in one or more elbow bones, often due to falls or impact.
Dislocations: Occur when elbow bones are forced out of alignment.
Bursitis: Inflammation of fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint.
Osteoarthritis: Cartilage breakdown leading to stiffness and pain.
Tendonitis: Overuse injury involving inflammation of elbow tendons.
Ulnar Nerve Entrapment: Nerve compression that can cause tingling, numbness, or weakness.

Treatment Options for Elbow Conditions

Our Queens clinic offers a full spectrum of treatments—from non-surgical therapies to advanced surgical procedures—tailored to each patient’s condition and goals. We may recommend one or more of the following:

  • Physical Therapy to restore strength and flexibility
  • Medications for pain relief and inflammation control
  • Corticosteroid Injections to manage inflammation
  • Splints and Braces for stabilization and healing
  • Minimally Invasive Arthroscopy for diagnosing and treating joint issues
  • Tendon Repair for torn or damaged soft tissues
  • Joint Replacement for severe joint degeneration
  • Osteotomy to realign bones and improve function
  • Ulnar Nerve Transposition to relieve nerve compression

What causes elbow pain most often?

It’s usually due to repetitive stress (like in tennis or golf), joint wear and tear from arthritis, or injuries such as fractures, dislocations, tendon inflammation, or nerve irritation.

When should elbow pain be taken seriously?

If the pain is sharp, lingers for days, or comes with swelling, redness, heat, changes in shape, or trouble moving your arm, don’t wait. It’s time to see a specialist.

Can I avoid surgery for elbow problems?

Absolutely. Many elbow conditions respond well to non-surgical care like guided physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, or supportive bracing.

What is elbow arthroscopy?

It’s a minimally invasive surgical option that uses a small camera to treat elbow problems through tiny incisions. This results in less pain and a quicker return to activity.

What’s the recovery timeline like after elbow surgery?

It varies by case. Some patients recover within weeks, while others may need several months of rehab and follow-up care to regain full strength and motion.

Why is rehab so crucial after surgery?

Rehabilitation, especially physical therapy, is the key to rebuilding strength and restoring proper movement. It’s often the difference between good results and great ones.

Do I need follow-up visits after treatment?

Yes—follow-up care allows us to monitor healing, adjust your treatment as needed, and ensure long-term success.
