Best Elbow Replacement Surgeon In Jaipur

Elbow replacement is surgery to replace the elbow joint with artificial joint parts (prosthetics).

The Elbow Joint Connects Three Bones:

The humerus in the upper arm
The ulna and radius in the lower arm (forearm)

The artificial elbow joint has two or three stems made of high-quality metal. A metal and plastic hinge joins the stems together and allows the artificial joint to bend. Artificial joints come in different sizes to fit people of different sizes.

You’ll receive general anesthesia. This means you’ll be asleep and unable to feel pain. Or you’ll receive regional anesthesia (spinal and epidural) to numb your arm.
A cut (incision) is made on the back of your elbow so that the surgeon can view your elbow joint.
The damaged tissue and parts of the arm bones that make up the elbow joint are removed.
A drill is used to make a hole in the center of the arm bones.
The ends of the artificial joint are usually glued in place into each bone. They can be connected with a hinge.
The tissue around the new joint is repaired.

Recovery after Elbow Replacement Surgery:

Do not use your surgery arm to get up out of bed or from a chair position. Use the opposite arm.
You may be advised not to pull anything to you, such as pulling up pants and opening doors, for six weeks after surgery.
Your doctor will likely give you a list of exercises to do once you’re home. Be certain to follow your doctor’s instructions, but typically you will be asked to do these four or five times a day for a month or so.
You may experience less pain after surgery, which may make you believe you can do more.
Be certain to follow your doctor’s instructions so that you don’t overdo it.
The amount of weight you can lift using your surgery arm will be limited. You doctor may recommend that you don’t lift anything heavier than a cup of coffee for the first four to six weeks.
Sling use will vary depending upon the situation, but your doctor may request that you wear the sling every night for at least the first month.
Avoid many household chores such as, raking, sweeping, mopping, and running the vacuum cleaner using your surgery arm. Use long-handled feather dusters for dusting high and low items. Your doctor will tell you when it is okay to do these activities.
