How do I Know If I Need Elbow Surgery?

Elbow surgery may be necessary for various reasons, depending on the specific condition or injury you're experiencing. Our elbow specialists will work with you to create a dedicated treatment plan that works best for your lifestyle. For many, elbow surgery is a last resort after more conservative treatments haven't worked. Some common reasons for elbow surgery include:

Your orthopedic specialist will evaluate your circumstances and symptoms and recommend surgery if other treatments have failed.

Bluegrass Orthopaedics treats patients of all ages, from active children to experienced adults. We have the expertise to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs, regardless of whether you're a young athlete or recovering from an injury later in life. For one of many of our success stories, check out our "Comeback Champions."

How Long Does it Take to Recover from Elbow Surgery?

Your orthopedic surgeon will explain your procedure and what's required during recovery. Recovery time can range from weeks to months, depending on the type of surgery, overall health, and extent of the injury. Arthroscopic elbow surgery or simple tendon repairs may take 4 to 6 weeks to recover, while elbow fracture repair, ligament reconstruction, or elbow replacement surgery may take 3 to 6 months or more. Follow doctor instructions and attend appointments and physical therapy sessions to ensure successful recovery.

How Should I Prepare for Elbow Surgery?

Our patients must have all the necessary information for a successful surgical recovery. Your surgeon and medical team are there to provide you with educational materials and answer any questions. Be sure to follow the medical and lifestyle guidelines your Bluegrass Orthopaedic surgeon provides for a smooth recovery. For instance, avoid smoking or any activities that could worsen your condition or hinder the healing process. It is essential to maintain open communication with your healthcare team leading up to the surgery. Please contact your surgeon or other medical team members for clarification or guidance if you have any concerns or questions.

Comeback Champion:
Sydney Parker

BGO's Champion patient comes from London, KY - Ms. Sydney Parker. Sydney is an animal lover, and was injured after a fall from her horse in October of 2018. She fractured and dislocated her elbow, which unfortunately led to surgery in October of 2018 - a complicated procedure that required an open reduction internal fixation as well as an ulnar nerve decompression and transposition. Sydney had fractured her trochlea, lateral condyle of her elbow, as well as her olecranon.

Dr. Balthrop and his staff were simply outstanding! From my first visit to the time of my OUTPATIENT hip replacement yesterday everything was as professional as a well oiled machine, but also personalized. My assigned nurse called this morning to check on me. Almost no pain at all. It has been a day and a half and my main concern is not overdoing my movement, cause I feel like I could generally do anything I wanted to do. Thanks to Dr. Balthrop and his first rate staff!

My primary doctor recommended Dr. Harrod as the best doctor to treat my fractures. After the initial contact and subsequent surgery, I feel very confident in recommending Dr. Harrod to anyone in need of services he provides. In addition to exhibiting professionalism and knowledge, Dr. Harrod actually listens to the patient. I have learned that Dr. Harrod treated my brother’s foot fractures several years ago and he also was very pleased with his treatment and outcome.

My pain was unbelievable. I couldn't walk any distance at all. I dreaded the surgery, the associated pain and recovery. Dr. Huff did a total knee replacement and straightened my leg. Within two weeks, I was walking without any assistance. The pain from the surgery and recovery was nothing. Today I can walk any where I want and as long as I want without pain. THANK YOU Dr. Huff.

Aside from being a phenominal surgeon he shows great compassion for his patients. For anyone needing a knee or hip, you will not find a better surgeon.
