المستخلص 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. |
