Some Common Questions

Have questions you want answers to?

Elbow conditions requiring surgery include chronic tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow, elbow fractures, post-traumatic stiffness, elbow arthritis, ulnar nerve entrapment (cubital tunnel syndrome), ligament instability, and loose bodies. Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur evaluates all conditions comprehensively.

Tennis elbow surgery is recommended when pain persists for 6–12 months despite physiotherapy, injections, and bracing. The procedure releases or repairs the damaged extensor tendon at the lateral epicondyle. Dr. Prasanna offers both open and arthroscopic techniques for optimal outcomes.

Arthroscopic elbow surgery uses a small camera and miniature instruments inserted through tiny incisions to diagnose and treat conditions like loose bodies, arthritis, impingement, and synovitis. It offers faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to open procedures.

Recovery depends on the procedure. Minor arthroscopic procedures allow return to light activities within 2–4 weeks. Complex reconstructions or elbow replacement may take 3–6 months. Dr. Prasanna's structured physiotherapy program at Yeshwanthpur ensures optimal functional recovery.

Cubital tunnel syndrome is compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow causing tingling, numbness, and weakness in the ring and little fingers. Surgery involves nerve decompression or transposition. Dr. Prasanna in Bangalore performs this procedure with high success rates and minimal recovery time.

Yes, total elbow replacement is available at Dr. Prasanna's clinic in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore. It is recommended for patients with severe elbow arthritis or irreparable fractures in select cases. The procedure replaces the damaged joint with linked prosthetic components to restore pain-free elbow movement.

Yes, elbow contracture (stiffness) can be treated surgically through arthroscopic or open elbow release. The procedure removes scar tissue, bone spurs, and tight capsule to restore range of motion. Dr. Prasanna specializes in elbow contracture release with excellent functional outcomes.

Surgical treatment for chronic tennis elbow has a success rate of over 85–90% in carefully selected patients who fail conservative management. Most patients experience significant or complete pain relief within 3–6 months after surgery at Dr. Prasanna's clinic in Yeshwanthpur.
