Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Dear doctor, My mother having joint pain since 1995, she is 65 years old now. From last two years her joints start dissolving. Now she didn t have both elbow joints. How we can avoid further damage plus is there option that we can put artificial elbows? Regards & Thanks, M. Amir
It seems elbow joints are damaged due to bone resorption. In such situations, instability is the main issues at elbows and hyper movements will affect the functions of upper limbs. There is orthosis with elbows joints locks are available which will be controlling excessive movement at elbows and provide stability. You are advised consulting orthopaedic expert and Orthotist to get a solution.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
