Optimal solution for post-surgery elbow problems
Revision elbow surgery is a procedure that is performed to correct problems that have arisen after a previous elbow surgery. This may be necessary if the initial surgery did not fully address the issue or if new problems have developed. The procedure involves making an incision in the elbow and carefully removing any scar tissue or damaged tissue that may be causing pain or limiting movement. The surgeon may also need to replace any hardware that was used in the initial surgery, such as screws or plates. Once the necessary revisions have been made, the incision is closed and the arm is immobilized to allow for proper healing. Physical therapy is often required to regain strength and flexibility in the elbow joint. While revision elbow surgery can be more complex than a first-time procedure, it is often necessary to restore full function and alleviate pain in the affected joint.
