Gupta wil assess for either of the following surgical treatments necessary
- Fracture reductioin (ORIF)
- Nerve entrapment
Fracture Reduction (ORIF) Open reduction internal fixation of the elbow requires Dr Gupta to locate the boney fragments of the fracture and, using a metal plate and screws, bind them together where they belong. The plate and screws will remain in the patient. Nerve Entrapment Cubital tunnel release is the technical name of the surgical procedure Dr Gupta will use to release pressure on the ulnar nerve which may become trapped at the elbow. This is a simple procedure with a very small incision used to identify and release the nerve. If you are suffering an elbow dislocation and don’t know what to do, Dr Gupta can offer advice or a second opinion if you are uncertain.
