Elbow Care

The elbow is a vital joint that allows you to bend, straighten, and rotate your arm — movements essential for work, sports, and everyday life. When elbow pain develops, it can make even simple tasks like lifting, gripping, or reaching uncomfortable and difficult. At Benton Franklin Orthopedic Associates, we specialize in diagnosing and treating elbow injuries and conditions with personalized care that helps you regain strength and mobility.

We are also proud to serve as the team physicians for the Tri-City Dust Devils Minor League Baseball team, giving us extensive experience caring for athletes with elbow injuries ranging from overuse syndromes to complex ligament tears.

Common Causes of Elbow Pain

We treat a full range of elbow problems, including:
● Biceps tendon tear or rupture

● Elbow dislocation

● Bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sac around the joint)

● Ulnar nerve entrapment (cubital tunnel syndrome)

● Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

● Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)

● Elbow sprains

● Fractures of the elbow joint

Elbow Treatment Options

Our physicians focus on conservative care whenever possible, but also provide advanced surgical treatments when necessary. 

Depending on your condition, options may include:
● Targeted therapy and activity modification

● Bracing or supportive devices

● Cortisone or biologic injections for pain and inflammation

● Arthroscopic surgery (minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat damage inside the elbow)

● Tendon repair and reconstruction for acute or chronic injuries

● Ligament repair and reconstruction for elbow instability and sports-related injuries (including Tommy John surgery for athletes)
