Elbow
Your specialist team for elbow complaints
Persistent pain and/or a loss of function in the complex elbow joint severely restricts quality of life and freedom of movement. An accident, constant overloading or chronic complaints due to degenerative or rheumatological diseases must be recognized and treated accordingly. In these cases, we offer individual assessment and the appropriate therapies.
Anatomy
The elbow joint consists of the upper arm (humerus) and is connected to the two forearm bones, the ulna and the radius. This complex anatomy of 3 joints - humeroulnar joint, humeroradial joint, radioulnar joint - allows movements such as bending (flexion) and straightening (extension) as well as rotational movements (pro/supination).Disease
Tennis elbow (epicondylitis humeri radialis) or golfer's elbow (epicondylitis humeri ulnaris) are common conditions, but wear and tear (osteoarthritis), often accompanied by elbow stiffness, are also typical clinical pictures.Injury
Elbow luxation (dislocation), fractures of the ulna and/or radius and rupture of the biceps tendon at the elbow joint are typical elbow joint injuries.
WHAT WE TREAT
- Open and arthroscopic surgical techniques on the elbow joint
- Therapy of elbow instabilities
- Elbow prosthesis for osteoarthritis (wear and tear)
- Tennis elbow (epicondylitis humeri radialis)
- Golfer's elbow (epicondylitis humeri ulnaris)
- Elbow stiffness - 'stiff elbow'
- Biceps tendon rupture
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow (lateral and medial epicondylitis) are painful inflammations at the tendon insertions of certain muscles in the elbow area.
Bursitis (Olecranon Bursitis)
Bursitis (olecranon bursitis) can be caused by excessive physical strain, bacterial infections, wear and tear, chronic overuse, or other conditions. Typically, sudden and severe pain occurs, often first noticeable at night after exertion.
Elbow Arthroscopy
As with most joints in the human body, the elbow joint can also be diagnosed and treated using joint endoscopy (arthroscopy).
