    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Elbow arthroscopy offers a minimally invasive approach to diagnosing and treating intra-articular elbow pathologies.
    • Understanding normal intra-articular anatomy through various arthroscopic portals is crucial for accurate examination.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a technique for diagnostic and surgical elbow arthroscopy.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic procedures for specific elbow conditions.
    • To describe normal intra-articular anatomy from key arthroscopic portals.

    Main Methods:

    • A preliminary study involving 12 patients undergoing surgical elbow arthroscopy.
    • Utilized anterolateral, anteromedial, and posterolateral portals for visualization.
    • Employed a preoperative and postoperative point accumulation rating system (4 objective, 4 subjective criteria).

    Main Results:

    • Removal of loose bodies yielded the best objective and subjective results.
    • Postoperative objective satisfaction improved from 50% to 83%.
    • Postoperative subjective satisfaction improved from 17% to 58%.

    Conclusions:

    • Elbow arthroscopy is an effective diagnostic procedure.
    • Operative elbow arthroscopy is beneficial for treating specific elbow disorders.
    • Meticulous attention to detail ensures safe and reproducible arthroscopic elbow examinations.
