Indiana Orthopedic Institute
Trusted Orthopedic Expertise. Unmatched Care. One Dedicated Team.
Your elbows play a key role in everyday movement—whether you're lifting, reaching, or simply bending your arm. At Indiana Orthopedic Institute, our skilled specialists offer advanced care for elbow conditions at our Noblesville, Terre Haute, and Fort Wayne locations. From tendonitis and arthritis to fractures and sports injuries, we create personalized treatment plans to relieve pain, restore strength, and help you get back to doing what you love without limitation.
The elbow is a complex hinge joint that connects the upper arm to the forearm, allowing you to bend, straighten, and rotate your arm. It plays a vital role in everyday movements like lifting, throwing, and reaching.
The elbow is made up of three bones:
These bones come together to form the elbow joint, which is supported by ligaments for stability, tendons that attach muscles to bone, and cartilage that cushions the joint during movement.
Key muscles like the biceps and triceps control arm motion, while nerves (including the ulnar nerve, also known as the "funny bone") help power your movements and provide sensation to the forearm and hand.
Because of its frequent use and range of motion, the elbow is prone to injuries like tendonitis, fractures, dislocations, and nerve compression.
Non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, bracing, activity modification, and steroid injections are often utilized to manage pain and restore function in patients with elbow conditions. If these conservative measures do not provide sufficient relief or if the injury or degeneration is severe, surgical intervention may be considered. Surgical options include minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures to repair soft tissue injuries, open surgery for complex tendon or ligament repairs, fracture fixation, or, in select cases, elbow joint replacement.
Our patients are at the center of everything we do, from the research we conduct to the procedures we recommend and the advanced technologies we use to perform the procedures. We want to make sure you are well-informed and fully supported every step of the way. Family is important to us, and we treat each patient as we would our own family.
