For young active patients under 50 with elbow osteoarthritis, arthroscopic osteocapsular arthroplasty offers a viable surgical solution. This procedure improves pain and mobility, unlike total elbow arthroplasty which has significant activity restrictions.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Joint Reconstruction

Background:

  • Elbow osteoarthritis in young, active patients (<50 years) poses a significant treatment challenge.
  • Nonoperative management often fails, necessitating surgical intervention.
  • Surgical goals include pain reduction and improved joint mobility by addressing bony impingement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate arthroscopic osteocapsular arthroplasty as a treatment for primary elbow osteoarthritis in young, active patients.
  • To compare the outcomes and limitations of osteocapsular arthroplasty versus total elbow arthroplasty in this specific patient group.

Main Methods:

  • Arthroscopic osteocapsular arthroplasty involves debridement of soft tissues and bone.
  • Procedures include osteophyte and loose body removal, synovectomy, and capsular release.

  • Bony contouring of the humerus and ulna is performed to achieve impingement-free motion.

    • Main Results:

    • Arthroscopic osteocapsular arthroplasty is presented as a viable option with minimal post-operative limitations.
    • Total elbow arthroplasty is reserved as a salvage procedure due to imposed activity restrictions.
    • The technique aims to restore pain-free range of motion.

    Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic osteocapsular arthroplasty is an effective surgical treatment for young, active patients with primary elbow osteoarthritis.
    • This approach effectively addresses bony impingement, reduces pain, and enhances joint mobility.
    • It offers a favorable alternative to total elbow arthroplasty, preserving patient activity levels.
