Explore the elbow injuries and conditions we treat, from tennis elbow to ligament tears, with advanced, joint-preserving orthopedic care.
Your elbows let you lift, reach, and move with ease — until pain, stiffness, or weakness make even simple activities uncomfortable. Whether your symptoms started after an injury, from repetitive motion, or seemingly out of nowhere, there are often ways to heal and preserve your natural joint without major surgery. At The Joint Preservation Center, our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive and biologic treatments that restore motion, reduce pain, and protect your elbow for the long term.
Below are some of the most common elbow conditions we diagnose and treat, explained in clear and simple terms.
The tendons around your elbow are responsible for gripping, lifting, and stabilizing your arm. Repetitive use can lead to small tears and inflammation.
We treat:
Our approach includes advanced biologic injections (like PRP), focused rehabilitation, and minimally invasive tendon repair when needed.
Ligaments provide stability during motion. When stretched or torn, they can cause pain, clicking, or looseness in the joint.
We treat:
Our surgeons use arthroscopic or open ligament reconstruction techniques that restore stability while preserving natural anatomy.
Cartilage cushions the bones of your elbow for smooth, pain-free motion. Damage or loss of cartilage can cause catching, grinding, or stiffness.
We treat:
We focus on cartilage restoration, biologic resurfacing, and joint realignment to reduce pain and prevent progression.
Nerves pass through narrow spaces around the elbow. When compressed, they can cause numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand and arm.
We treat:
We perform nerve decompression and biologic nerve protection procedures to relieve symptoms while minimizing tissue disruption.
A fall or direct impact can cause fractures or dislocations around the elbow. Even after healing, stiffness or malalignment can limit function.
We treat:
Our goal is to restore motion and alignment while protecting existing cartilage whenever possible.
When wear-and-tear changes begin, early intervention can help preserve joint function and delay or avoid replacement.
We treat:
We offer a range of treatments including biologic injections (PRP, stem-cell-based therapies), arthroscopic clean-ups, and realignment when needed.
From tennis and baseball to weightlifting and climbing, sports place unique stress on the elbow. Our team helps athletes recover strength, motion, and confidence.
We treat:
We don’t just treat pain — we restore movement, strength, and long-term joint health. Our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons specialize in joint preservation, combining arthroscopic precision, biologic science, and patient-centered care to help you heal naturally.
Whether your goal is to return to sports, work, or everyday activities, we focus on helping you move freely and live without limits.
If you’re experiencing elbow pain, stiffness, or instability — or if you’ve been told you might need surgery — you may still have options to preserve your joint and recover naturally. Request an appointment with one of our elbow specialists today to explore your personalized treatment plan.
