Abstract:
The technique of arthroscopic elbow surgery and its possibilities in the rheumatoid arthritic elbow is discussed. Emphasis is placed on the description of arthroscopic anterior (anterolateral, anteromedial, superomedial) and posterior approaches (straight lateral, posterolateral, straight posterior) to the elbow and the surrounding neurovascular anatomy. Technical hints for elbow arthroscopy especially with relevance to the rheumatoid population are given.
