“…Some have suggested that the surgical approach should be determined by the site where the impairment is thought to be [2,3,4,12], whereas others recommend a lateral approach through which anterior and posterior exploration is possible [14,18,22,23]. We found a lateral incision to be satisfactory as the initial approach.…”

Twelve of 14 patients who underwent arthrolysis of the elbow for post-traumatic stiffness were re-examined after a mean of 62 months. Pain and subjective stiffness were improved. The mean function of the elbow improved from 73 degrees to 112 degrees. Those operated on within a year of their injury improved twice as much as those who had been operated on after a longer period. Arthrolysis may be very rewarding when conservative treatment fails, especially when it is carried out within a year of the injury.

“…Eine Instabilität wird trotz Durchtrennung von Kapsel-Band-Strukturen nicht beobachtet [10,12,16,17,36]. Prognostisch ungünstig sind nach unserer Erfahrung Narkosemanipulationen, die zu einer weitergehenden Schädigung der vulnerablen Gelenkflächen führen können.…”

“…The etiology of post-traumatic stiffness may be multifactorial and may include (among other causes): joint degeneration, heterotopic ossification, post-fracture joint incongruence and contraction of soft tissues (2) . Many open surgical procedures have been used to treat post-traumatic contracture of the elbow (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) ; however, the surgical route may cause additional damage to soft tissues and increase the risk of recurrence of the contracture, along with difficulty in implementing early physiotherapy because of pain (10) . Open techniques may also be restrictive with regard to viewing for adequate exploration of all the structures involved in elbow stiffness (10) .…”

To evaluate patients undergoing arthroscopic release of a stiff elbow, with discussion of the technique, possible difficulties and risks. Methods: Twenty-four elbow arthroscopy procedures were performed. All the patients were evaluated using goniometry before the operation and six months afterwards and were rated using the Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS). Results: Fifteen men and nine women underwent surgery (14 right elbows and ten left elbows). Their mean age was 34.58 years and length of follow-up, 38.41 months. Their mean gain of range of motion was 43.3° and of MEPS, 85.4. Conclusion: Arthroscopic release might enable better intra-articular
