Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Elbow arthroscopy is a key surgical technique.
  • The standard supine position with an anterolateral portal has limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified prone position technique for elbow arthroscopy.
  • To highlight the advantages of this modified approach over the standard supine method.

Main Methods:

  • Patient positioning in the prone position.
  • Utilizing a proximal medial portal for arthroscopic access.
  • Comparison of visualization and maneuverability with the standard technique.

Main Results:

  • The prone position enhances scope mobility and joint manipulation.
