Meet the Best Orthopaedic Doctor in Delhi

Dr Abhishek Mishra

Hello, I am Dr. Abhishek Mishra, Co-founder of VNA hospital and head of the Orthopedics department. I have more than 22 years of experience in orthopedics. My specialty is joint replacement and spine surgery. VNA hospital is our joint venture to deliver excellent medical care and the best treatment outcomes for our patients.

Elbow joint is made up of the arm (lower end of the humerus) and the forearm bones (Radius & Ulna). During the Elbow replacement surgery, first of all, anesthesia (regional or general) is given. Then an incision is made on the back of the elbow joint.
After that, the bone ends are cleaned and the damaged surface is removed.
The lower end of the bone in the arm (humerus) and the upper end of the forearm bone (ulna) are replaced. Both these implants are fixed into their bones snugly with cement.
A hinge is attached in the middle of these bones to allow smooth movements.
After that, the movement is checked and the incision is closed.
The patient is then sent to the recovery room.

Handling Complications

When you are under the care of such an experienced joint surgeon like Dr Abhishek Mishra, complications are highly unlikely. However, some complications that may arise in elbow replacement surgery patients are infection, any issue with the implant, blood clot, pain, etc. These complications are quite uncommon when you are under the care of an experienced joint replacement specialist, Dr Abhishek Mishra. Don’t forget to inform the hospital if you notice any fever, chills, swelling, or discharge from the surgical site.
