Elbow Doctor

As the premier orthopedic and neurosurgical providers for Vancouver, Portland, Lake Oswego, and the surrounding areas for over 50 years, Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery offers exceptional elbow care from our fellowship-trained and board-certified elbow doctors so you can rebound.

Pain in the elbow is often the results of repetitive stress or overuse as it is one of the most exercised joints in the body. Overuse injuries can include tennis elbow, bursitis, and golfer's elbow. However, all severe elbow pain should be treated by an orthopedic surgeon who has specialized training in the upper extremity. Elbow doctors have the advanced knowledge and training needed to diagnose and treat a variety of injuries and conditions affecting the elbow, which can range from arthritis to ligament or tendon damage.

With a commitment to help patients regain their health and return to their active lifestyles as quickly as possible, we have developed our Online Guide to Hand and Upper Extremity Care to provide patients with further information about their injuries and conditions and the treatments available to them.

As the region's most preferred orthopedic practice, we are proud to be the official sports medicine providers for the Portland Trail Blazers and continuously strive for excellence.

Our fellowship-trained and board-certified elbow surgeons, James (Jim) Chesnutt, M.D.Gregory D. Gramstad, M.D., Benjamin Jacobs, M.D., Jesse McCarron, M.D., S. Kevin Nayar, M.D., and Anthony S. Wei, M.D., have the skill and expertise to treat a wide variety of elbow injuries and conditions. Our elbow doctors will always exhaust all conservative treatment options before suggesting surgery; however, there are some situations in which elbow surgery is the best option to help eliminate pain and restore function. If surgery is recommended, our surgeons have vast experience in performing many surgical procedures, including elbow arthroscopy and surgical treatment for elbow instability. 

To help facilitate a full and rapid recovery, our elbow surgeons take a team approach when it comes to patient-centered care, and they work in conjunction with our hand therapists, who offer comprehensive therapy services. Our ultimate goal is to provide an effective rehabilitation plan that is focused on your individual needs to help you resume a pain-free lifestyle.
