Elbow Arthroscopy

Elbow Arthroscopy

Elbow Treatments & Surgeries - Adelaide Orthopaedic Specialists

An elbow arthroscopy is a procedure that orthopaedic surgeons use to inspect, diagnose, and repair problems inside a joint. During elbow arthroscopy, your surgeon inserts a small camera, called an arthroscope, into your elbow joint. The camera displays pictures on a television screen, and your surgeon uses these images to guide miniature surgical instruments.

A wide range of procedures can be performed arthroscopically: scar tissue and loose bodies can be removed, fractures can be fixed, and joint replacement is sometimes even possible. Most arthroscopy procedures are performed under a general anaesthetic.

Adelaide Shoulder and Upper Limb Clinic offers consultation and arthroscopic elbow surgery at his multiple practice locations in Adelaide, along with a wide variety of other elbow treatments and procedures. With our extensive experience in treating upper limb conditions, our surgeons work with patients to create tailored treatment plans, to deliver the best possible outcome.
