In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I confirm the exact elbow problem and review my X-ray, CT, or MRI findings.
- I review the rest, medicine, injection, or therapy treatments I have already tried.
- I ask whether tissue will be cleaned, removed, released, or repaired during surgery.
- I arrange a ride and overnight help and change medicine only if my surgeon tells me.
