How do I Know If I Need Elbow Surgery?

Elbow surgery may be necessary for various reasons, depending on the specific condition or injury you're experiencing. Our elbow specialists will work with you to create a dedicated treatment plan that works best for your lifestyle. For many, elbow surgery is a last resort after more conservative treatments haven't worked. Some common reasons for elbow surgery include:

Your orthopedic specialist will evaluate your circumstances and symptoms and recommend surgery if other treatments have failed.

Bluegrass Orthopaedics treats patients of all ages, from active children to experienced adults. We have the expertise to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs, regardless of whether you're a young athlete or recovering from an injury later in life. For one of many of our success stories, check out our "Comeback Champions."

How Long Does it Take to Recover from Elbow Surgery?

Your orthopedic surgeon will explain your procedure and what's required during recovery. Recovery time can range from weeks to months, depending on the type of surgery, overall health, and extent of the injury. Arthroscopic elbow surgery or simple tendon repairs may take 4 to 6 weeks to recover, while elbow fracture repair, ligament reconstruction, or elbow replacement surgery may take 3 to 6 months or more. Follow doctor instructions and attend appointments and physical therapy sessions to ensure successful recovery.

How Should I Prepare for Elbow Surgery?

Our patients must have all the necessary information for a successful surgical recovery. Your surgeon and medical team are there to provide you with educational materials and answer any questions. Be sure to follow the medical and lifestyle guidelines your Bluegrass Orthopaedic surgeon provides for a smooth recovery. For instance, avoid smoking or any activities that could worsen your condition or hinder the healing process. It is essential to maintain open communication with your healthcare team leading up to the surgery. Please contact your surgeon or other medical team members for clarification or guidance if you have any concerns or questions.

Comeback Champion:
Sydney Parker

BGO's Champion patient comes from London, KY - Ms. Sydney Parker. Sydney is an animal lover, and was injured after a fall from her horse in October of 2018. She fractured and dislocated her elbow, which unfortunately led to surgery in October of 2018 - a complicated procedure that required an open reduction internal fixation as well as an ulnar nerve decompression and transposition. Sydney had fractured her trochlea, lateral condyle of her elbow, as well as her olecranon.

Dr Hunt was great and very easy to talk to. Being a law enforcement officer I had special concerns in my return to full duty. Dr Hunt and I discussed those concerns at length. His PAs were also great. I would highly recommend Dr Hunt and his staff without any reservations. Earl Doug Robinson

The surgery went great and the tendon repaired. After great therapy at BGO and follow up visits with Dr. Favetto I have full use once again of my hand. I have nothing but great things to say about BGO, from the surgical staff to the rehab department. Everyone is very friendly, caring and Dr. Favetto takes the time to answer any questions I have. Great place and I would highly recommend it for anyone .

He Fixed Me When No One Else Could. Dr. Hunt is awesome! I had a minor surgery, on my lumbar spine. A few months later, i was injured. I had to have 2 more surgeries and a lumbar fusion. I still have pain, but that's to be expected,... He Fixed Me When No One Else Could. Dr. Hunt is awesome! I had a minor surgery, on my lumbar spine. A few months later, i was injured. I had to have 2 more surgeries and a lumbar fusion. I still have pain, but that's to be expected, when you have a bunch of titanium, in your spine. He kept me in physical therapy, to keep my torso strong, for the surgery. Best move. I was up, walking around, on my own, a few hours after the surgery. He has a great personality! Jokes with me and is always ready to answer any questions I have. I've read some of these reviews and i don't believe they've saw the same doctor. He's a great surgeon and fixed me when others just wanted to shove pills, down my throat.
