Elbow disorders are conditions that negatively affect daily life activities and sports activities and can occur due to various injuries and diseases. These conditions include tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), elbow dislocations and bursitis. They usually develop as a result of overuse, repetitive movements or trauma and are characterized by symptoms such as pain, swelling and restricted movement. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar creates plans for individual needs in the treatment of elbow disorders and offers the most appropriate treatment options both with conservative methods and in cases requiring surgical intervention. Thus, he aims to help patients lead a healthy and functional life.
Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, is characterized by inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow, specifically in the area called the lateral epicondyle. This condition usually develops as a result of repetitive movements, overuse or physical activities with incorrect technique. Symptoms include pain on the outside of the elbow, tenderness, weakness and discomfort when performing certain movements. Treatment options may include conservative methods such as rest, physical therapy, painkillers and corticosteroid injections when necessary. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be required. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar aims to improve the quality of life of his patients by offering personalized approaches in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.
Medial epicondylitis, commonly known as golfer’s elbow, is caused by inflammation of the tendons on the inside of the elbow, in an area called the medial epicondyle. The condition usually develops as a result of repetitive movements, overuse or certain sports activities; it is particularly common in sports such as golf, where there is a high frequency of swinging movements. Symptoms include pain on the inside of the elbow, tenderness, weakness and discomfort when performing certain hand movements. Treatment usually begins with conservative methods such as rest, physical therapy, painkillers and corticosteroid injections when necessary. Surgical intervention may be necessary in severe cases. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar helps his patients regain their health by offering effective solutions for individual needs in the treatment of medial epicondylitis.
Nerve compression, specifically cubital tunnel syndrome, is a condition that occurs when the ulnar nerve is compressed in the elbow. This syndrome develops because the nerve is subjected to pressure as it passes through a structure on the elbow called the cubital tunnel. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, weakness and pain on the inside of the hand, radiating from the elbow to the fingers (especially the ring and pinky fingers). This condition can be caused by factors such as prolonged elbow bending, repetitive movements or injuries. Treatment usually begins with rest, physical therapy, orthotics and anti-inflammatory medication. In advanced cases, surgical intervention may be required to relieve the pressure on the nerve. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar aims to improve the quality of life of his patients by offering approaches to individual needs in the effective treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome.
Olecranon bursitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the olecranon bursa located at the back of the elbow. The purpose of this bursa is to facilitate movement of the elbow joint and reduce friction. Inflammation is usually caused by repetitive trauma, overuse or prolonged pressure (for example, leaning against a hard surface). Symptoms include swelling, tenderness, pain and restricted movement behind the elbow. Conservative methods such as rest, ice application, anti-inflammatory medication and physical therapy are usually effective in treating olecranon bursitis. In advanced cases, drainage of the bursa fluid or surgical intervention may be required. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar offers personalized approaches to the individual needs of his patients in the treatment of this condition, helping them lead a healthy life.
