Dr. Sandeep Garg Performs Rare Total Elbow Replacement, Restores Movement After 5 Years of Pain

The patient had been suffering from severe elbow pain for five years, the result of a fracture that had healed incorrectly at a local level, causing the elbow joint to deteriorate completely. Over time, her condition worsened to the point where all movement in the elbow was lost, leaving her unable to carry out even basic daily tasks with that hand. Despite living with this debilitating condition for years, she had not received the specialized care her case required, until she came to Apex Hospitals, Jaipur.

After a thorough evaluation, the medical team determined that a Total Elbow Replacement was the only viable solution. The surgery was performed under the expert guidance of Dr. Sandeep Garg, Consultant — Orthopaedics, Joint Replacement & Sports Injury. With over 15 years of experience, an MS in Orthopaedics, and Fellowships in Arthroplasty & Arthroscopy from J&J USA, Dr. Garg is one of Rajasthan's most trusted names in complex joint replacement surgeries. 

The procedure carried significant risks, including nerve damage, hand dysfunction, and permanent disability, but using advanced instrumentation and precision surgical techniques, the surgery was completed successfully without any muscle cutting. The patient's elbow movement has been fully restored and she has been discharged in good health. This case is a reflection of the kind of complex, high-stakes orthopaedic care that Apex Hospitals, Jaipur is built for.
