Tuteja, a renowned orthopaedic surgeon specializing in elbow conditions, brings exceptional international expertise to elbow surgery in Mumbai. His extensive training includes prestigious fellowships at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (UK), EWHA University Medical Centre (South Korea), and Centre Orthopédique Santy (France), with a Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) in Trauma and Orthopaedics.

Common Elbow Injuries and Conditions

Dr. Tuteja’s specialization in elbow conditions encompasses a comprehensive range of injuries and disorders that affect individuals across all activity levels, from professional athletes to those dealing with degenerative changes.

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

Inflammation and degeneration of tendons attached to the lateral epicondyle, causing pain on the outside of the elbow that radiates down the forearm, particularly with gripping activities or lifting objects.

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Affects the inside of the elbow, involving tendons that attach to the medial epicondyle. Commonly affects golfers, baseball players, and individuals performing repetitive flexion and pronation activities.

Complex Elbow Fractures

Dr. Tuteja’s expertise includes olecranon fractures, radial head fractures, and complex intra-articular fractures. These injuries require specialized surgical techniques to restore normal joint function.

Ulnar Nerve Entrapment

Cubital tunnel syndrome causes numbness and tingling in the ring and little fingers, along with weakness in grip strength. May require surgical decompression to prevent permanent nerve damage.

Elbow Instability & Arthritis

Various forms of elbow instability and degenerative changes causing pain, stiffness, and limited daily activities. Treatment ranges from conservative management to joint replacement in severe cases.

Treatment Methods

Dr. Tuteja’s approach to elbow treatment emphasizes joint preservation and functional restoration through both surgical and conservative methods. His international training and expertise in trauma management ensure that patients receive the most appropriate treatment for their specific condition.

Conservative Treatment

Physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, targeted injection therapies, activity modification, and bracing options to address muscle imbalances and restore normal elbow mechanics.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Arthroscopic elbow surgery allows precise treatment through small incisions, resulting in less tissue trauma, reduced pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open procedures.

Complex Fracture Fixation

Precise reduction and stable fixation techniques including percutaneous pinning, plate fixation, and other advanced methods to restore normal joint anatomy and function.

Ligament Reconstruction

Advanced procedures to restore elbow stability and prevent recurrent symptoms, requiring detailed knowledge of elbow anatomy and biomechanics.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Successful elbow surgery requires comprehensive post-operative care and rehabilitation. Dr. Tuteja’s approach emphasizes early appropriate motion while protecting healing tissues, ensuring optimal functional recovery.

Immediate Post-Operative Care

Pain management and protection of surgical repairs are primary goals. Specific restrictions and precautions vary depending on the procedure performed.

Early Rehabilitation

Gentle range of motion exercises are typically initiated within the first few weeks, depending on the specific procedure. The goal is to prevent stiffness while allowing healing.

Progressive Strengthening

As healing progresses, strengthening exercises are gradually introduced to restore normal muscle function and joint stability, crucial for optimal functional outcomes.

Return to Activities

Timeline varies significantly depending on the procedure and individual factors. Dr. Tuteja provides detailed guidance on appropriate activity progression for safe return to desired functions.
