OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Exception MD offers expertise and quality care that are recognized in the treatment of pathologies and accidental injuries of the hand, wrist and elbow. Our team of specialists favours the most advanced, sophisticated techniques to ensure a minimum of discomfort and the rapid restoration of mobility. From diagnosis to procedure through to healing and rehabilitation, we provide the most attentive and personalized care.

The elbow

The elbow is made up of three joints: the first, the humeroulnar, or trochlea, works a bit like a hinge to allow bending and straightening (flexion and extension) of the forearm; the second is the humeroradial, which allows the forearm to rotate the wrist (supination and pronation) and stabilizes the elbow. The third is the proximal radioulnar, which is the rolling of the radius on a tiny lateral facet of the ulna (necessary for supination and pronation). Elbow osteoarthritis is fairly rare, but issues with tendons (of the biceps and epicondyles) are frequent.
