Elbow arthroscopy is surgery that uses a tiny camera called an arthroscope to examine or repair the tissues inside or around your elbow joint. The arthroscope is inserted through a small incision (cut) in your skin.
Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition of the elbow caused by overuse. Not surprisingly, playing tennis or other racquet sports can cause this condition. But several other sports and activities can also put you at risk.
There are many treatment options for tennis elbow. In most cases, treatment involves a team approach. Primary doctors, physical therapists, and, in some cases, surgeons work together to provide the most effective care.
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (Ulnar Nerve Entrapment)
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve in the arm becomes compressed. When this happens, the nerve does not function normally.
It is not known exactly what causes compression of the ulnar nerve. Some factors can make it more likely that the nerve will be compressed.
Biceps Tendon Repair
The biceps muscle is in the front of your upper arm. It helps you bend your elbow and rotate your forearm. It also helps keep your shoulder stable.
Tendons attach muscles to bones. Your biceps tendons attach the biceps muscle to bones in the shoulder and in the elbow. If you tear the biceps tendon at the elbow, you will lose strength in your arm and be unable to forcefully turn your arm from palm down to palm up.
