Total Elbow Replacement Surgery

Total Elbow Replacement (TER) is an advanced orthopedic surgical procedure performed to relieve severe elbow pain and restore movement in patients with damaged elbow joints. In this procedure, the damaged parts of the elbow joint are replaced with high-quality artificial implants, allowing smooth and painless joint movement.

This surgery is recommended when non-surgical treatments such as medications, physiotherapy, or injections fail to provide relief.
