Flexor and extensor tendons, along with the ulnar collateral, radial collateral and annular ligament in the elbow all serve to stabilize the elbow joint. The common flexor and extensor tendons provide strength to the elbow as well.
In elbow ligament reconstruction, the torn ligament has to be either repaired (debridement) or released (in the surgeon’s opinion).
Tendon debridementIn this procedure the surgeon removes any damaged tissue from the tendon and cleans the tendon. It is often used in surgeries to treat tendinitis.
Tendon releaseIn this procedure the surgeon locates the attachment of the extensor or flexor tendon on the elbow and splits the damaged tendon as well as removes the scar tissue or other overgrowth.
Ligament reconstructionAs part of the treatment plan for a ligament reconstruction, your surgeon will excise a donor tendon from either the forearm or below the knee. The graft is drilled into the upper arm and forearm bones and anchored using special sutures. The surgery can be performed arthroscopically or open depending on the extent of damage and your surgeon’s preference.
You will be prescribed with a splint to support the elbow for several weeks after the surgery. You will need regular follow-ups, along with vocational rehabilitation, to ensure a faster recovery.
Follow your surgeon’s post-operative care recommendations for the best possible recovery and results.
