Overview of Elbow Arthroscopy
Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside the elbow joint. Surgeons make small cuts in the skin and insert a tiny camera to see inside the joint. This technique allows precise treatment with less pain and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
Inside the Elbow Arthroscopy Procedure
During elbow arthroscopy, surgeons create small portals around the elbow to insert the arthroscope and surgical tools. A camera attached to the arthroscope projects a clear view of the joint on a monitor, helping the surgeon identify damaged tissue, loose bodies, or inflammation. Saline solution is used to expand the joint, giving better visibility during the procedure. Specialized instruments such as shavers, graspers, and radiofrequency devices are used to trim or remove damaged tissue. Surgeons can also repair ligaments or smooth rough bone surfaces through the same small incisions. The method ensures less trauma to surrounding tissues and quicker functional recovery.
Medical Reasons for Elbow Arthroscopy
- To remove loose bone or cartilage fragments inside the elbow joint
- To treat stiffness or limited motion caused by scar tissue
- To repair damaged ligaments or tendons
- To treat arthritis-related problems like bone spurs
- To manage chronic elbow pain that does not improve with non-surgical treatments
