Elbow damage can lead to pain and immensely affect your range of motion. The pain can cause difficulties in performing your daily activities.<\/p>\n
If left untreated, symptoms may spread to other body parts like your shoulder. This is because your shoulder tries to overwork itself when your elbow is not functioning well.<\/p>\n
There are a variety of elbow conditions and injuries that our specialists treat. Please contact our office, if you do not see the condition below.

But your elbow condition may not improve after these treatments and may worsen.<\/p>\n
You may need elbow surgery when nonsurgical treatments are not helping you. Surgery can help you reduce pain and restore elbow function.<\/p>\n
Living in pain and discomfort is not worth it when you can get long-term relief with surgery and return to doing the things you love. If you\u2019re experiencing severe pain that worsens with elbow movements, stiffness, and an altered range of motion, it may be time for elbow surgery.<\/p>\n
The Elbow Center at Carolina Orthopaedic & Neurosurgical Associates has highly-trained physicians who are experienced in the treatments of the elbows. Our specially-trained physicians provide advanced treatment, including.

If you are taking any medications or supplements, inform your orthopedic surgeon because you may be asked to stop taking some of them before your surgery. Some of these medications can cause you to bleed during surgery.<\/p>\n Your orthopedic surgeon may call for blood tests, an electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, or a more extensive evaluation to safely perform your elbow surgery. Make sure to follow the instructions on when to stop eating or drinking before your surgery.<\/p>\n If you smoke, you may want to stop because smoking can slow your healing and recovery. Try to shed a few pounds if you\u2019re overweight.<\/p>\n Take note of things you need to do post-surgery, especially the changes that you need to make at home. For example, what things can you carry without help, what exercises can help with recovery, how long you should stay off work, etc?<\/p>\n At Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates (CONA), our board-certified physicians can help you get back to the things you love as fast as possible.
