What is Elbow Arthroscopy?
Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions affecting the elbow joint. This technique involves the insertion of a small fiberoptic camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments through tiny incisions to address problems such as:
- Loose bodies within the joint
- Osteoarthritis
- Arthrofibrosis (stiffness)
- Osteochondritis dissecans
- Certain fractures and soft tissue conditions like lateral epicondylitis
The procedure provides a magnified internal view of the elbow, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment with less trauma compared to open surgery. It typically takes 1–2 hours and is performed under local or regional anesthesia. Most patients are discharged the same day or after an overnight stay.
Patients usually experience reduced post-operative pain, minimal scarring, and faster healing. Recovery spans 6–8 weeks and involves structured physical therapy to regain motion and strength. Though rare, complications such as nerve injury, stiffness, or infection may occur, and a skilled surgical team is essential for minimizing these risks.
