Orthopedic Elbow Specialists in Atlanta

Are you suffering from elbow pain? We have some of Atlanta's best elbow doctors who offer effective treatments to help you find relief.

At Resurgens Orthopaedics, our orthopedic elbow specialists are highly trained. They focus on early diagnosis of elbow pain, which can help manage conditions before they become chronic or severe.

What Causes Elbow Pain?

Our elbows endure a lot of wear and tear from various daily activities, sports, and occupations. Repetitive motions can lead to overuse injuries like tennis elbow or golfer's elbow (you don't have to be a tennis player or golfer to be afflicted by either). There are also common trauma-related injuries like bursitis or hyperextension and chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or cubital tunnel syndrome that can cause pain and limit movement over time.

When Should You See a Doctor For Elbow Pain?

Elbow pain can be a cause for concern due to the elbow's role in many activities. Pain severity can vary greatly depending on the patient, but any persistent discomfort deserves medical attention.

Common signs to seek professional help include:

  • Constant pain: Pain that lasts weeks despite rest and over-the-counter pain medication.

  • Swelling: Noticeable swelling around the elbow joint.

  • Reduced mobility: Difficulty bending or straightening your arm.

  • Numbness or tingling: Numbness or tingling sensations in your arm or hand.

If you experience these symptoms, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with our elbow specialists in Atlanta.

How We Diagnose Your Elbow Pain

The elbow is a complex mechanism that's at risk of developing a wide variety of conditions. For that reason, we place a high priority on properly diagnosing your specific condition before starting treatment.

Correctly diagnosing the cause of your elbow condition is vital for proper treatment. Our physicians and doctors use top-of-the-line radiography equipment to provide diagnostics and imaging. These include CT scans, EMG, MRI scans, and nerve conduction studies.

Certified technologists operate our equipment. These professionals receive extensive vetting - and recurring training - on the latest imaging techniques and procedures. You may also need to receive electrodiagnostic screening to determine your condition.

Patients Trust Our Atlanta Elbow Doctors

Daftari performed 2 back surgeries for me. First he went through my stomach to straighten my spine and then the next week through my back to replace L4-S1 vertebrae’s and put all my hardware in. After 3 years of not being able to walk and being in the bed he saved my life! He checked on me so much in the hospital and he was so excited it was so successful. I had a high rate of being paralyzed if I did not get this surgery when I did. I wish I could somehow repay him for saving me!

Michael Quackenbush is as talented and thorough as the best trauma surgeons in the country. And I’ve flown to many of them.

I had hip replacement surgery on 1/2/19 and walked with minimal assistance of a cane on 1/17/19. I found Dr. Claps and staff to be professional and efficient. My questions were always answered and explanations given for medications and procedures to be preformed. Dr. Claps called personally before and after surgery. I could not have chosen a better surgeon for my procedure. I also found other staff at Resurgens to be friendly and helpful.

I can’t say enough about my experience with my hip surgery. Dr Hanna and his team are genuine, knowledgeable , proactive and caring. I only met Dr Hanna twice but I immediately felt comfortable. He is smart, experienced, up on his game and genuinely concerned. I loved his sense of humor, ‘bedside manner’ and his over all personality. He took his time with me making sure I was aware of the process from start to finish. He knows his stuff. He indulged me as my nervousness made me crack silly jokes, in my typical form. Post surgery same day; I feel amazing! Dr. Hanna and the team, work as tribe, together , as they combine their knowledge creating an amazing experience for me. Highly recommend!

Dr. Traub is not only highly skilled in his profession, he is caring, compassionate and as nice as he is handsome:-) He provides detailed explanations during pre/post-operative visits/procedures. I had a large meniscus tear repaired. My speedy recovery not only shocked "me," but my family and friends, as well!! I only used crutches the day of surgery and the next. 2 weeks post-surgery, 2 visits to the PT, I regained full range of motion in my knee and was able to resume my 30 minute walks.

Dr. WIllett, is very personable and has helped me with my myofascial trigger points.

Excellent surgeon with a comfortable bedside manner. The entire office was easy to deal with and always eager to make sure that my mom was well cared for. Everyone went the extra mile to fully explain every detail of the procedure and answer any questions or concerns that we had. Scheduling or changing appointments was an easy process as well.

Dr. Joseph has provided outstanding support to me for almost five years now...Unfortunately I've experienced some medical issues in recent years which has required numerous physicians and surgeons and all Dr's are not the same. I have so much respect for him. He's truly a professional and expert in his field. Dr. Joseph show's compassion and cares about his patients. He and his staff (Jennifer and Angie) are the best in the business trust me!

I'm so sad to hear this news!! Dr. C was the best. Deepest sympathies to her family.

I want to recommend Dr. Ficke for his commitment to his patients. I had an immediate appointment to show my daughter's bruised finger which had an initial diagnosis of fracture & dislocation. The doctor's office had to be closed early due to Snow. However, the effort Dr. Ficke took to see us and help take an X-Ray (He found an alternate way to take an x-ray since the tech were out and took it himself) was immense. It shows his love for his patients. His diagnosis was very re-assuring as well.
