Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Arthroscopy Techniques

Context:

  • Elbow arthroscopy is an evolving surgical procedure.
  • Diagnostic challenges in elbow joint pathology.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of elbow arthroscopy.
  • To assess the diagnostic yield and therapeutic benefits of elbow arthroscopy.

Summary:

  • 37 elbow arthroscopies were performed, with 15 surgical procedures including 9 free body extractions.
  • Minimal morbidity was observed, with one deep infection and no neurovascular complications.
  • Diagnostic accuracy improved, avoiding exploratory arthrotomy in 13 patients.

Impact:

  • Elbow arthroscopy is indicated for undiagnosed elbow pain, loose bodies, osteochondritis, and unexplained locking.
  • The procedure offers minimal morbidity and superior visualization compared to open surgery.
  • Facilitates accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment, improving patient outcomes.
