FAQ About Elbow Surgery in Adelaide
How do I know if I need elbow surgery?
Surgery might be necessary if you experience persistent pain, limited mobility, or weakness in the elbow that does not improve with conservative treatments. Indications for surgery typically include severe damage from arthritis, significant trauma, or instability that affects daily functions. Dr. Brumby-Rendell will evaluate your condition with diagnostic tests to determine if surgery is the most effective treatment option. He has extensive experience as an elbow specialist surgeon in Adelaide.
What are the non-surgical options for elbow treatment?
Non-surgical treatments can include physical therapy, medications (such as anti-inflammatories), injections, and activity modifications. These options are often effective for managing pain and inflammation, improving joint function, and delaying or avoiding the need for surgery.
How can I prepare for elbow surgery?
Preparation for elbow surgery involves several steps: ensuring overall good health, discussing all medications with your doctor, potentially stopping certain medications that might affect surgery, and arranging for assistance during the recovery period. Adelaide elbow surgeon Dr. Brumby-Rendell and his team will provide detailed pre-operative instructions specific to your condition and the type of surgery being performed.
What is the recovery time for common elbow surgeries?
The recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery performed. Minimally invasive surgeries tend to have quicker recovery times. You will likely need physical therapy to regain full function and strength in your elbow.
How effective is arthroscopic surgery compared to open surgery?
Arthroscopic surgery is often just as effective as open surgery for many elbow conditions, with the added benefits of less pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring due to smaller incisions. This technique allows for precise treatment of the affected areas with less disruption to surrounding tissues. However, the effectiveness can vary based on the specific condition and severity; Dr. Brumby-Rendell can discuss which surgical approach is most appropriate for your situation.
