Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Arthroscopic elbow surgery is increasingly preferred due to lower surgical morbidity and quicker recovery.
  • Open incisions are traditionally used for more complex elbow pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the indications and outcomes of arthroscopic versus open elbow surgery.
  • To determine the suitability of arthroscopic techniques for various elbow conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of arthroscopic and open elbow surgical procedures.
  • Comparison of complication rates and recovery times between surgical approaches.

Main Results:

  • Arthroscopic surgery demonstrates decreased surgical morbidity and faster recovery in appropriate cases.

  • Open incisions are still indicated for extensive elbow problems, including displaced fractures and olecranon impingement.

    • Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic elbow surgery is advantageous for selected elbow conditions.
    • Open surgical approaches remain essential for managing severe elbow pathologies requiring extensive intervention.
