Elbow Arthroscopy

Abstract

Arthroscopy of the elbow can be used to treat numerous pathologies about the elbow joint. Conditions such as arthritis, osteochondritis dissecans, arthrofibrosis, and loose body removal are all amenable to arthroscopy. Elbow arthroscopy is a technically demanding procedure. Surgeon knowledge and awareness of the surrounding neurovascular structures is paramount. Neurovascular injury at the time of surgery can have catastrophic consequences.
