Abstract:Background: Post-traumatic elbow stiffness (PTES) may substantially affect the patient's functional range of motion and quality of life. Open elbow release has been extensively studied, but arthroscopic techniques are limited, particularly in differentiating between post-traumatic and non-traumatic stiffness. The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes after arthroscopic release of PTES regarding the range of motion (ROM), pain, functional assessment, and complications. Methods: A prospective … Show more
