About the procedure

What is the typical anesthetic used for treatment for elbow instability, and tendonitis for elbow instability, arthritis, and tendonitis ?

Elbow reconstructive surgery involves surgery that is performed critically close to the nerves above the elbow. We recommend a general anesthetic so that post-operatively the patient can be examined to determine that all the nerves are functioning properly to prevent any undue pressure , irritation or injury to the nerves.
