Elbow Surgeon
Elbow Surgeon in Stoneham & Malden, MA
Elbow pain can limit your ability to work, exercise, or enjoy daily activities. At Agility Orthopedics, our elbow surgery specialists provide advanced, personalized care for injuries and conditions affecting the elbow joint. Whether your pain is the result of sports, repetitive motion, arthritis, or a sudden injury, our experienced orthopedic surgeons offer treatment plans designed to restore strength, stability, and function.
Comprehensive Elbow Surgery and Treatment Options
Our team evaluates each patient carefully to determine the most effective treatment path. Agility Orthopedics provides both minimally invasive elbow surgery and non-surgical therapies based on your diagnosis and goals. Common conditions we treat include:
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Elbow arthritis
- Elbow fractures and dislocations
- Cubital tunnel syndrome (ulnar nerve compression)
- Ligament tears, including ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries
- Biceps and triceps tendon tears
Whenever possible, our elbow specialists begin with conservative treatments such as rest, physical therapy, bracing, or image-guided injections. If pain persists or the injury is severe, elbow surgery may be recommended to restore long-term function and prevent further damage.
Minimally Invasive Elbow Surgery Techniques
Agility Orthopedics utilizes the latest surgical techniques to facilitate faster healing and improved outcomes. Elbow arthroscopy allows surgeons to repair or remove damaged tissue through small incisions, reducing downtime and postoperative discomfort.
Common minimally invasive elbow procedures include:
- Arthroscopic tendon repair
- Removal of loose bodies
- Treatment for cartilage damage
- Arthroscopic debridement for arthritis
- Ligament reconstruction for UCL injuries
For more complex injuries—such as severe fractures or tendon ruptures—our surgeons offer advanced open surgical procedures using modern implants and fixation methods.
Personalized Elbow Recovery and Rehabilitation at Agility Orthopedics
Successful recovery from elbow surgery requires a structured rehabilitation plan. At Agility Orthopedics, our specialists work closely with physical therapists to support healing, restore mobility, and strengthen the elbow safely. Your care team will guide you through every step, from immediate post-operative instructions to return-to-work and return-to-sport protocols.
We focus on customized treatment because every patient heals differently and every elbow injury is unique. Our goal is always to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and help you return to the activities you enjoy.
