Elbow arthroscopy is a key treatment for intra-articular elbow conditions like loose bodies and synovitis. Pre-operative imaging is crucial for planning these minimally invasive procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Elbow arthroscopy is increasingly vital for treating intra-articular elbow pathologies.
  • Accurate pre-operative radiological assessment is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications and treatment strategies for elbow arthroscopy.
  • To highlight the importance of pre-operative imaging and potential risks.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common indications for elbow arthroscopy.
  • Discussion of radiological assessment techniques (plain radiographs, CT/MR arthrography).
  • Description of treatment approaches for various elbow conditions.

Main Results:

  • Loose bodies are the most frequent indication, often co-occurring with other intra-articular issues.

  • Other indications include osteochondritis dissecans, synovial fringe, synovitis (rheumatoid arthritis), and arthritic elbows.
  • Neurological risks are a significant consideration during treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Elbow arthroscopy offers effective treatment for diverse intra-articular pathologies.
    • Comprehensive pre-operative evaluation is critical for successful outcomes.
    • Awareness and management of potential neurological complications are paramount.
