Hello, Thanks for your query. use caution when resting the joint, because prolonged immobilization can cause a stiff joint. Physical therapy is an important aspect of treatment of almost all orthopedic conditions to increase strength, regain mobility, and help return pre-injury level of activity. Arthroscopic Elbow Surgery is a surgical treatment for relief of some types of symptoms. While not useful for all causes of elbow pain, arthroscopic surgery is a treatment option for several common conditions. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care Warm Regards
