There has been a huge development in the knowledge of the causes and best treatment methods for the various functional issues involving the elbow over recent years. It has become an individual discipline.
When there are problems, prompt examination by an elbow specialist is advisable for an exact diagnosis. Modern imaging techniques help to identify the functional issue and determine the appropriate therapy.
An operation is not always necessary for treatment. An improvement can often be achieved just with physiotherapy, training therapy or infiltrations. The aim of treatment is always to give pain-free movement, mobility and independence back to patients.
If an operation on the elbow is unavoidable, this can be carried out arthroscopically in most cases, i.e. with so-called keyhole surgery. If the elbow joint cannot be retained due to wear or a complex fracture, modern prostheses are used.
