Surgery will vary by condition and its severity. Examples of the types of surgery you might need for elbow pain include: 

UCL (ulnar collateral ligament) repair    

Elite’s Nashville elbow specialists team might be able to make a direct repair of an acute UCL tear where the ligament has come away from the bone.

Tommy John surgery (ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction)

If your UCL tear is more complicated or the result of a gradual deterioration in the ligament, direct repair may be impossible. In this case, your elbow doctor selects a tendon from somewhere else in your body or uses donor tissue to make a graft that replaces the damaged UCL.

Ulnar nerve transposition

If you have cubital tunnel syndrome, the team can reposition your ulnar nerve to relieve the compression causing your elbow pain.
