ELBOW SURGERY
The elbow allows you to shorten or lengthen your arm by bending, enabling you to reach for objects, reach your hair or reach your mouth.
The elbow is an integral part of being able to turn your hand palm up and down. At CQ Hand + Upper Limb, we will work with you to ensure you are given the best range of motion in your elbow to allow you to live freely.
