Common causes of hand and elbow pain

-

 Hand and elbow pain has many potential causes, including:

Fractures - A broken bone may be the cause of your pain if you recently fell, were in a car accident, or received a blow to your arm or hand. Stress fractures, small cracks in the bone, can also cause pain.

A strain or sprain: The muscles in the hand or around the elbow may have become strained or twisted. Sprains or strains are common in athletes who play racquet or contact sports, but can also occur if you lift a heavy object.


Tennis elbow: Playing tennis or golf or participating in any type of activity that involves repetitive arm movements can increase the risk of developing tennis elbow. The condition occurs when the tendons in the elbow become inflamed or damaged.


Arthritis: Arthritis occurs when the cartilage that protects the ends of the bones in the joints of the hands or elbows begins to wear down.


Carpal tunnel syndrome: Pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers can occur due to pressure on a nerve in the wrist caused by narrowing of the carpal tunnel.


Cubital tunnel syndrome: You may notice pain inside your elbow that spreads to your hand if you have cubital tunnel syndrome. The syndrome is also caused by pressure on a nerve.

How Your Hand Surgeon Can Relieve Your Pain


Treatment for hand and elbow pain depends on the cause. Oral or injectable medications to relieve pain and inflammation can be helpful in many cases and can alleviate the discomfort of arthritis, sprains and strains, carpal and ulnar tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and other conditions. Splints, braces, or casts may be recommended if you have a fracture, arthritis, or carpal tunnel syndrome. Physical therapy can help restore normal hand or elbow movement, reduce pain, and strengthen the muscles that support the joints in the hands and elbows.


When other treatment methods are not helpful, surgery may be needed to treat the condition or injury responsible for your pain.

Direct anterior hip replacement is an innovative and advanced approach to hip replacement that significantly improves surgical outcomes. It is gaining popularity among patients and surgeons alike due to the following benefits: Less damage to surrounding muscles - There are fewer muscles located in the front of the hip. The surgeon does not cut or separate any of these muscles and instead can work between the muscles to access and replace the damaged hip joint. Faster recovery: Because there are fewer injuries to the hip muscles, they can provide better support for the new hip joint. In a randomized study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, patients were able to achieve functional milestones such as discontinuation of the walker or walking a half mile approximately 5 days earlier with direct anterior hip replacement. Smaller Incision Size: Direct anterior approach hip replacement can be performed through a single 4-inch incision. The posterior hip replacement approach generally requires a 9 ...
