ELBOW

 

The elbow joint – a vital hinge connecting your upper and lower arm – plays a key role in everyday activities. Despite lacking the muscle and fat protection found in other joints, it’s incredibly strong and allows for the complex movements needed to bend, twist, and reach. At Metairie Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, our experienced team specializes in treating a wide range of elbow conditions, helping you reclaim pain-free movement and get back to what you love.
