摘要：
Indications for elbow arthroscopy include diagnostic arthroscopy, removal of loose bodies and osteophytes, synovectomy, treatment of osteochondrosis dissecans and capsular release in case of contracture. In particular, the anatomic vicinity of the neurovascular structures to the portals requires a thorough knowledge of elbow anatomy and some experience with the procedure. The exact positioning of the patient, identification of the landmarks and knowledge of the correct portal placement are necessary to perform a safe and effective operation and to avoid complications. The overall complication rate is higher as compared to knee- or shoulder arthroscopy with minor complications predominating. Nerve lesions are transient most of the time; however, being permanent they cause substantial problems for the patient. Overall, elbow arthroscopy has become a safe and reliable procedure for the diagnosis and therapy of elbow disorders. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
