How many hours does elbow surgery take?

I am a 38 year old female. I want to know how many hours does elbow surgery take?

Normally 1-2 hours actual surgery time.
That depends on the exact type of surgery and its complexity, but typically between 1-3 hours.

It depends upon the type of elbow surgery. A simple surgery for tennis elbow can take 20 to 30 minutes, a more complex elbow reconstruction or replacement can take a few hours. It varies based upon what exactly needs to be done during the surgery.
1-2 hours

Hope it helps!!
