Mayo Clinic s approach

Cutting-edge technology

Mayo Clinic surgeons can use 3D printing technology to create a precise model of a person's joint anatomy. This allows them to better plan exactly what needs to be done during the surgery. Innovative navigation techniques during surgery help procedures go more smoothly and quickly.

Mayo Clinic's elbow treatment teams include specialists in orthopedic surgery, anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, and physical medicine and rehabilitation. These experts work together with the goal of restoring strength and range of motion in your elbow.

Compassion

Mayo Clinic combines innovation with compassion to provide exceptional care. The experts at Mayo know that pain management is a concern for anyone considering surgery. The surgical and anesthesia teams will make you as comfortable as possible during and after the procedure.
