Abstract:
Valgus extension overload syndrome (VEO) is the result of supraphysiologic stresses placed across the posterior elbow during pitching. Following failure of nonoperative measures, surgical options consist of arthroscopic or limited incision posteromedial decompression. Although technically challenging, arthroscopic treatment offers many advantages over open treatment, including improved joint visualization, decreased soft-tissue dissection, decreased postoperative pain, and quicker rehabilitation. Arthroscopic treatment of VEO consists of soft tissue and bony debridement, loose body removal, and osteophyte resection. This technique report details the steps of arthroscopic treatment of VEO in a patient with a subluxating ulnar nerve.
