Abstract
The arthroscope is a useful tool in the evaluation and management of some traumatic elbow injuries and instabilities. Certain elbow fractures and articular injuries are amenable to arthroscopic diagnosis and treatment. Some radial head fractures can be accurately assessed and reduced, and fixation achieved using arthroscopically assisted techniques. Other elbow fractures occasionally can also be treated arthroscopically. The arthroscope also serves an important role not only in the diagnosis and management of elbow instability but also in the treatment of those intra-articular changes that occur as a result of chronic instability. Removal of loose bodies and osteophytes can be effectively accomplished arthroscopically.
