There are several elbow surgical treatments that are currently most effective when done as an open, traditional procedure.
Tennis elbow is swelling and pain in your elbow. It’s caused by damage to the tendons in your arm that connect your muscles to your elbow bone. Surgery for tennis elbow removes the damaged tendon to ease pain and help you move your elbow more easily.
Patients treated with leukocyte-enriched PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) in chronic tennis elbow had significant improvement of pain and function.
Surgeon makes a cut above the bone on the side of your elbow. Then she removes the damaged piece of tendon and reattaches the healthy part back to the bone. The doctor might also remove a tiny piece of bone in your elbow to improve blood flow and help the area heal faster.
