Elbow Dislocation
Elbow dislocation occurs when the bones that make up the elbow joint are forced out of their normal position. This can be a serious injury that requires immediate attention. Our team of elbow surgeons is well-versed in managing such cases. We will carefully realign the joint and provide the necessary support through casting or bracing to promote proper healing.
Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL)
The UCL is a ligament that connects the upper arm bone to the forearm bone and is commonly injured in throwing sports like baseball. Our treatment options for UCL injuries may include rest, physical therapy, or Tommy John surgery.

Elbow Pain Diagnosis and Treatment
Elbow injuries are typically diagnosed through a combination of physical examination, medical history, and diagnostic imaging like X-rays or MRI scans. Our experienced elbow doctor in Orlando will work with you to determine the most appropriate course of diagnosis and treatment for your individual needs.
Non-surgical Elbow Pain Treatment Options
Physical therapy
Physical therapy can be an effective treatment option for many elbow injuries. This may include exercises to strengthen the muscles and tendons around the elbow joint, as well as techniques to improve range of motion and flexibility.
Medication
Pain and inflammation associated with elbow injuries can often be managed with over-the-counter or prescription medication. Our experienced elbow doctor in Orlando can work with you to determine the best medication options for your individual needs.
Injections
In some cases, injections of corticosteroids or other medications may be used to reduce inflammation and pain associated with elbow injuries.
Surgical Elbow Pain Treatment Options
Arthroscopic Surgery
It is a minimally invasive surgical technique that involves making small incisions in the skin and using a tiny camera to guide the surgical instruments. This technique can be used to diagnose and treat a wide range of elbow conditions.
Open Surgery
It involves making a larger incision in the skin to allow the surgeon greater access to the elbow joint. This technique may be used for more complex or severe elbow injuries.
Tommy John Surgery
It is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a damaged or torn UCL with a tendon from another part of the body. This surgery is commonly used to treat UCL injuries in throwing athletes like baseball pitchers.
