What is Elbow Arthroscopy?
Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive (keyhole) surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems within the elbow joint.
Elbow arthroscopy is commonly performed by an elbow specialist.
Conditions Treated
- Elbow stiffness
- Loose bodies
- Early arthritis
- Impingement
- Selected cases of tendon and ligament problems (e.g. tennis elbow, distal triceps tears)
- Selected fractures
Benefits
- Smaller incisions
- Less tissue disruption
- Faster recovery compared to open surgery
The Procedure
Small instruments and a camera are inserted into the elbow joint to treat the underlying condition.
Similar minimally invasive techniques are used in shoulder arthroscopy.
Recovery
- Early movement encouraged
- Physiotherapy as needed
- Return to activities over weeks to months
If you have persistent elbow symptoms not improving with conservative treatment, elbow arthroscopy may be an option.
