Elbow fractures involve breaks to the bones that form the elbow joint and often result from falls, direct trauma, or high-energy injuries. These fractures can disrupt joint alignment, stability, and motion, leading to pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty bending or straightening the arm. Because the elbow is a complex joint, accurate evaluation is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Integrity Orthopedics provides comprehensive care for elbow fractures, focusing on restoring joint function while minimizing long-term stiffness and complications. Diagnosis includes a detailed physical examination and imaging to assess fracture pattern, displacement, joint involvement, and bone quality. Treatment plans are individualized based on injury severity, functional needs, and overall health.
Fracture Repair
Many elbow fractures require surgical repair to restore alignment and joint stability. Operative repair techniques are selected to stabilize the fracture, preserve joint motion, and support proper healing. Surgical planning emphasizes accurate reconstruction of the joint surface and early functional recovery when appropriate.
Total Elbow Replacement
In certain complex fractures, particularly when the joint surface is severely damaged or bone quality is compromised, total elbow replacement may be considered. This option is typically reserved for cases where fracture repair alone is unlikely to provide a reliable outcome. The goal is to reduce pain, restore functional motion, and allow safe use of the arm.
Integrity Orthopedics delivers evidence-based fracture care, guiding patients through repair and replacement options with clarity, experience, and a focus on long-term elbow function.
