Elbow Instability
Elbow instability is often caused by ligament injuries, trauma, or repetitive stress in athletes and labor-intensive professionals. It results in pain, a sense of joint slipping, and reduced strength in the arm.
Elbow instability, often caused by ligament injuries or repeated stress, can lead to painful, unpredictable joint movements. At Mrityunjay Orthopedic Hospital, Meerut, Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar offers thorough evaluation and advanced surgical or conservative treatments to stabilize the elbow and restore confidence in arm use.
By using minimally invasive techniques, supported by post-treatment physiotherapy, Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar ensures patients regain elbow strength, stability, and range of motion — whether they are athletes, workers, or individuals recovering from trauma.
Under Dr. Shubhankar’s care:
- High-definition imaging is used to assess ligament laxity and joint integrity.
- Both conservative and surgical management options are customized based on activity level and severity.
- Ligament reconstruction or stabilization is done with precision using minimally invasive approaches where possible.
The goal is a strong, stable elbow—fit for daily function and demanding activity alike.
Inflammatory Pathologies of the Upper Limb
Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, synovitis, and autoimmune-related joint inflammations often affect the elbow, wrist, and hand. Left untreated, they can lead to joint deformity and disability.
Inflammatory conditions affecting the joints and soft tissues can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and swelling. At Mrityunjay Orthopedic Hospital, Meerut, Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar collaborates closely with the Rheumatology team to provide integrated care for patients with autoimmune or inflammatory joint diseases.
Through advanced imaging, targeted medications, and when necessary, surgical interventions, patients receive a comprehensive approach that controls inflammation, protects joint health, and preserves long-term mobility and function.
Dr. Shubhankar’s approach includes:
- Early diagnosis using blood tests, imaging, and clinical markers
- Joint-sparing procedures and medical management to control disease progression
- Surgical synovectomy or joint reconstruction in advanced cases
With timely intervention, patients regain function and halt long-term damage.
