Patient-Centered Elbow Care in Eugene, OR
At Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, you’re in the care of exceptional, specialty-trained orthopedic doctors and surgeons specializing specifically in the unique needs of the elbow.
As a hinge joint that connects the humerus bone of the upper arm to the radius and ulna bones of the lower arm through a complicated system of muscles, ligaments, and tendons, the elbow can experience a great range of injuries and conditions, including overuse injuries like tendinitis and diseases such as arthritis and cubital tunnel syndrome. This is why intervention from an expert elbow specialist is oftentimes necessary to assess your elbow pain and determine a course for treatment. Our highly skilled elbow experts are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat elbow injuries and conditions from tennis elbow to fractures and chart a course for treatment.
