[Endoscopic examination of the elbow joint from the dorsoradial approach]

At the Second Surgical Clinic in Nürnberg endoscopy of the elbow joint was employed as an aid to diagnosing complaints in 25 elbow joints. The examinations were carried out under anesthetic with dorsoradial approach. The joints were exposed with CO2 gas. There were no complications. Endoscopic examination of the elbow proved helpful both for preoperative diagnosis as well as for the prognosis following elbow-joint surgery.
