“…Along the joint line of the radial head, the distance of the radial head to the radial nerve averaged 8 mm and was as low as 2.0 mm in one case. Neurological deficits after arthroscopic arthrolysis have been described in literature [4][5][6][7]. Lynch et al [18] have shown that the risk of neurovascular complications can be reduced by insufflation of the joint with approximately 30-40 cc of fluid.…”

Arthroscopy is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of various elbow and wrist disorders. Because of the close proximity of vital neurovascular structures, arthroscopy of these joints must be undertaken with a thorough understanding of the anatomy and with experience with the surgical procedures. Although there are reports of complications from procedures in both joints, there is a lack of agreement as to the rate and types of complications. We reviewed the literature to help the reader develop a comprehensive understanding of the risks and plentiful complications associated with arthroscopic procedures of the elbow and wrist and to describe strategies to prevent adverse outcomes.

“…Although catastrophic neurologic complications have been reported, several outcome studies have established that elbow surgery is generally safe when appropriate precautions are taken, especially described for arthroscopy. 3,8,10,21 Blonna et al 3 even described no permanent nerve injury during arthroscopic capsulectomy.…”
