Quality Elbow Hyperextension Treatment in Central California

Your elbow joint has a normal range of motion that helps you perform your daily activities. If the joint is overextended or bends backwards, you may experience an elbow hyperextension injury.

Pain, swelling, and discoloration are among the first signs of elbow hyperextension. Dignity Health Central California orthopedic doctors can determine if your elbow injury is severe enough for elbow hyperextension surgery.

End Pain with Elbow Surgery for Hyperextension

For most cases of elbow hyperextension, your doctor will recommend treatment at home that includes rest, compression, and ice. You also may have to keep your elbow from moving while you recover.

If you have a severe injury, you may have significant pain. Tingling, numbness, or even deformity of the joint can also occur. In this case, your doctor may recommend elbow surgery for hyperextension. 

Our comprehensive orthopedic team can repair your elbow injury and restore joint stability. Elbow hyperextension surgery is especially helpful if your injury includes bone fractures, damage to ligaments or other tissue damage, or damage to nerves and blood vessels. Surgery also promotes healing if you have repeated hyperextension injuries.
