Background Arthroscopic surgery is widely used in the treatment of refractory tennis elbow due to its advantages of minimally invasive, safe and direct vision. Intra-capsular arthroscopy(intracapsular method), which is performed via natural cavity, is the mainstream arthroscopic procedure. However, intracapsular method requires the damage of joint capsule and may cause intraoperative neurovascular injury and other complications. In view of the defects of intracapsular method, the surgical scheme of the extracapsular arthroscopy (referred to as "extracapsular method") has emerged. The aim of this study was to investigate the exploration history, key theories, methods, and techniques involved in the evolution from the intracapsular method to the extracapsular method for arthroscopic treatment of tennis elbow, and explore the effectiveness and safety of extracapsular method. Methods Qualitative data were collected via focus group interview. 7 surgeons who were selected through purposive sampling discussed on the theories, methods, and technical specifications of the transition from intracapsular method to extracapsular method. Qualitative data were analysed using NVivo11. Quantitative data of consecutive 43 patients were analysed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the extracapsular method. Descriptive analysis was conducted to analyse the demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes after surgery. Results The experts agreed that the extracapsular method maintains the integrity of joint capsule and avoids complications caused by joint capsule damage. Extracapsular method was considered easy for surgeons to master and convenient to operate. Technical specifications for extracapsular method were formed based on group discussion. The median time for pain relief and recovery of daily activities of 43 patients treated with these specifications were 3 months and 6 weeks, respectively. The satisfaction rates of Mayo Elbow Performance Scores were 87.2%, 95.6%, and 100% respectively at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation. Conclusion On the basis of international peer innovation, the extracapsular method has been continuously developed in our clinical practice to avoid the possible complications of the intracapsular method. The resulting technical specifications have been shown to have good clinical efficacy and safety in a small sample cohort.

The present review is dedicated to the problems and treatment techniques in elbow joint diseases. Basic methods of conservative and surgical treatment for osteoarthritis in the initial stages, chondromatosis, elbow osteochondritis dissecans and lateral epicondylitis are considered. Potentialities of arthroscopic interventions for the treatment of these conditions are presented and the main problems as well as the urgent aspects of arthroscopic treatment for elbow joint orthopaedic pathology at the current stage of surgery development are considered.

The elbow is a highly constrained synovial hinge joint that frequently becomes stiff after injury. Elbow stiffness is defined as flexion <120° and loss of extension >30°. Trauma is a common cause of stiffness in the elbow joint with rates ranging from 3% to 20. Elbow motion is required so that the hand can be properly positioned for activities of daily living. For this reason, joint contractures at the elbow can be poorly tolerated. Elbow arthroscopy is a valuable tool for both diagnostic and therapeutic purpose. Minimal invasiveness and effective rehabilitation after the surgery helps the patient achieve an early recovery and facilitates return to normal activities of daily living. This study was conducted to determine the clinical and functional outcome of arthroscopic management of Intra articular elbow disorders among 30 patients by Arthroscopic fibrolysis. From our study we can conclude that, elbow arthroscopy is an excellent surgical treatment for intra articular elbow disorder in selected patients resistant to conservative management.
