Elbow surgery

Elbow surgery includes all procedures aimed at treating traumatic, degenerative, inflammatory, or neurological conditions affecting the joint. Its goal is to restore stability, mobility, and function of the elbow, while respecting its delicate balance, as this joint does not tolerate prolonged immobilization well.
