What is Elbow Instability?
Elbow instability occurs when the ligaments supporting the elbow joint are damaged, leading to looseness or recurrent dislocation.
Elbow instability is best assessed by an experienced elbow specialist.
Causes
- Traumatic dislocation
- Sports injuries
- Ligament tears
Symptoms
- Feeling of the elbow “giving way”
- Recurrent dislocations
- Pain during activity
- Reduced confidence in arm use
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is based on:
- Clinical examination
- Imaging (X-rays, MRI)
Treatment Options
Non-Surgical
- Physiotherapy
- Bracing
Surgical
Surgery may be required for recurrent instability or significant ligament injury. Procedures include ligament reconstruction to restore stability.
Recovery
Recovery involves structured rehabilitation to regain strength and stability.
If your elbow feels unstable or has dislocated previously, a specialist assessment is recommended.
