The elbow is probably one of the most sensitive human joint
in its response to trauma. Thus, one can appreciate the special
importance of arthroscopy and arthroscopically assisted internal
fixation and implant removal in the elbow.
Recent investigators have established safe portals of entry
into the elbow joint. Portals for elbow arthroscopy include
anterior portals and posterior portals.
As a diagnostic tool, elbow arthroscopy provides information
regarding the presence or absence of loose bodies, the condition
of synovium and intraarticular joint capsule, the quality of
articular cartilage and any degree of instability.
The most common therapeutic indications for elbow
arthroscopy are excision of osteochondral loose bodies,
treatment of osteochondritis dissecans, synovitis, excision of
marginal osteophytes, and adjunctive treatment of intraarticular
fractures.
