If you have arm pain, one of these common arm conditions and injuries may be the cause: 

• Biceps tendon injury or strain
  
• Broken arm and fracture

• Hand and wrist conditions and injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome
• Shoulder conditions and injuries

Your specific arm or elbow problem will determine your treatment plan. 

Arm and elbow conditions we treat

Whether you've just bumped your "funny bone" or you have chronic pain, the elbow joint is easy to injure. Pain in the elbow can occur from overuse, a fall or blow to the joint, or a force that causes the elbow to bend backward.

We perform elbow surgery to relieve and repair the following:

• bursitis

• dislocation

• fractures

• hyperextension

• sprains and strains

• tendonitis

Your specific arm or elbow problem will determine your treatment plan. We specialize in the latest procedures, including minimally invasive surgery, and more. See the complete list of surgeries we perform.
