Abstract
Elbow arthroscopy is now being used with greater frequency to treat arthritis and contractures. The procedure is technically demanding and the potential for injury to neurovascular structures remains a concern. Potential advantages of arthroscopic treatment include improved articular visualization and decreased postoperative pain. Patients may also benefit from decreased morbidity and a faster postoperative recovery. Elbow arthroscopy can be performed for removal of loose bodies, resection of symptomatic plica, release of the capsule in patients with contracture, removal of osteophytes, treatment of synovectomy in inflammatory arthritis, treatment of osteochondritis dissecans, débridement of lateral epicondylitis, and treatment of elbow fractures.
