Overview of Elbow Conditions
The elbow plays a big role in everyday motion. From tossing a ball on the field to personal grooming at home, an elbow injury can make a variety of extracurricular and everyday activities challenging. At Carthage Area Hospital Orthopedic Clinic, we treat a variety of sports injuries and other ailments related to the elbow joint, as well as other upper extremities. Common elbow conditions treated in our clinic include:
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Tendonitis
- Fractures
- Sprains
An elbow injury may arise due to an accident, overuse, stress, joint inflammation, and other causes. Elbow pain may radiate from the joint to the forearm and wrist. Other symptoms of an elbow injury may include:
- Tingling or numbness
- Loss of mobility in the elbow and forearm
- Grip weakness
- Joint pain
Depending on the extent of the injury, surgical or non-surgical treatment may be recommended. Non-surgical recommendations may include rest, medication, compresses, and other methods that can be performed in the comfort of your home. Your treatment plan may also include physical therapy. Our therapists use a variety of techniques to help patients regain strength, increase range of motion, and manage pain.

At Carthage Area Hospital Orthopedic Clinic, our providers strive for the highest level of patient satisfaction and post-operative rehabilitation results. Our services for patients with elbow injuries include:
- Non-surgical elbow treatments
- Elbow surgery
- Comprehensive upper-extremity care
Each patient is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and we recognize that surgery is not a course of treatment for everyone. Conditions are either treated non-surgically in an outpatient clinical setting, or by using the most advanced technology available, our orthopedic team applies minimally invasive surgical techniques when possible. Minimally invasive procedures have several advantages for patients, such as a lowered risk of complications and minimized recovery times.
As part of our comprehensive treatment planning, our orthopedic team will go over each patient’s surgical and non-surgical options, addressing possible risk factors, expected outcomes, and any questions or concerns as they arise.
