Tennis elbow surgery may be an option for patients in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and surrounding Florida communities. At Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine, we offer less-invasive alternatives for some patients that may help them find joint pain relief, regain mobility, and return to their active lifestyles.
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a term that refers to a common condition caused by the overuse of the arm and repetitive motions in the forearm or wrist, which cause tears to develop in the outside of the elbow where the tendons and muscles connect to the bone. These tears may cause pain that can develop gradually and become worse when an individual squeezes an object, shakes hands, opens a jar, or makes other fine wrist movements.
The team of experts at Tampa Orthopaedic is led by Board-certified physicians, Dr. Daniel Murphy and Dr. Arnold Ramirez. These specialists serve as team physicians for the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, respectively, and are able to treat a variety of sport-related injuries through non-surgical techniques for anyone from professional athletes to active seniors living in the Tampa Bay area.
Depending on a patient’s condition, some alternatives to tennis elbow surgery may include:
- Physical therapy
- Cortisone injections
- Platelet-rich plasma injections
- Stem cell treatments
Our team would be more than happy to evaluate your condition and discuss these treatment options with you. If you live in Tampa, St. Petersburg, or Clearwater, FL, and are interested in tennis elbow surgery alternatives, contact Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine today.
