Shoulder & Elbow
Tennis / Golfer's Elbow Surgery
Surgical release for stubborn lateral or medial epicondylitis after failed non-surgical care.
Overview
Tennis elbow (lateral) and golfer's elbow (medial) are common tendon overuse problems. Most cases settle with activity modification, physiotherapy, bracing and injections. Persistent cases benefit from surgical release — open or arthroscopic — with excellent outcomes.

- Failed physiotherapy, bracing and injections
- Persistent grip weakness
Key benefits
- Reliable pain relief
- Return to work and sport
- Small incision / arthroscopic
Surgical approach
- Selective release of affected tendon origin
- Debridement of degenerative tissue
- Arthroscopic option in selected cases
Recovery timeline
- Day-care surgery
- Sling for 1–2 weeks
- Return to full activity in 6–12 weeks

Real experiences from people who chose Dr. L. Tomar for their joint care.
“Two years of grip pain that no injection fixed. Day-care surgery, back to typing in ten days and full strength by three months.”
“The tingling in my ring and little fingers is finally gone. Dr. Tomar explained the nerve compression so clearly I felt fully in control of the decision.”
“Loose bodies were locking my elbow mid-lift. Scope surgery cleared them out — full extension restored, back to strength training.”
