Abstract
In the elbow joint, occurrences of intra-articular osteoid osteoma are uncommon. We detail the case of a 21-year-old male who experienced pain, inflammation, and a restricted ability to move his elbow. For a few months, the diagnoses was missed and the patient was treated for idiopathic synovitis. After a contrast MRI, the tumor was revealed. During an arthroscopic examination of the elbow, a distinct red lesion was observed after the removal of the pale reactive bone in the olecranon cavity. This was subsequently removed in its entirety with the aid of a specialized bone tool. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. Remarkably, the individual reported alleviation from the symptoms just a day following the operation and regained full range of motion 5weeks after the surgery. This case underscores the efficacy of arthroscopy in addressing intra-articular osteoid osteoma, with a focus on accurately pinpointing the lesion.
