Dr. Burt is a renowned sports medicine and orthopaedic surgeon. He will run diagnostics and order the appropriate imaging tests to determine the extent of injury to your elbow. Pain medication, non-surgical treatment such as physical therapy and immobilizing the elbow may improve symptoms and facilitate recovery. Other times, surgery is required to restore full range of motion and use of the elbow. Depending on your elbow injury and lifestyle, Dr. Burt may recommend arthroscopic surgery. In some cases, surgery may be required to reconstruct ligaments or address damage to the bone and cartilage in the elbow joint.
