... prepping and draping the extremity, all bony landmarks are then outlined including the olecranon, the medial and lateral epicondyles, the radiocapitellar joint and the course of the ulnar nerve (Figure 4). The proximal anteromedial portal is located approximately 2 cm proximal to the medial epicondyle and just anterior to the intermuscular septum ( Figure 5) and is established first. If close attention is paid to anatomic landmarks, joint insufflation is not necessary. ...

Background
Elbow arthroscopy had good functional outcome for throwing athletes. Returning to sports is a major concern for all athletes, but only a few reports have investigated the clinical factors related to the duration of returning to sports. The present study evaluates the efficacy of elbow arthroscopic surgery on throwing elbows with osteoart...
Background:
Displaced radial neck fractures in children are challenging to treat. The age of the patient and the degree of angulation are the main criteria to consider when managing these fractures in children. Various surgical techniques have been described in the literature for both indirect and direct reduction and for fixation. However, the be...
Needle arthroscopy may provide several potential advantages over standard arthroscopy. The smaller camera size and weight allows for a minimally invasive and percutaneous approach with decreased fluid use. As resolution and image quality improve, the potential to expand clinical use for therapeutic applications becomes possible. One promising use i...
Background:
The aim of this study was to assess the functional outcomes and time to improve after the modified arthroscopic technique (recession technique) by using a knife to sharply cut the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon origin in patients with recalcitrant tennis elbow.
Methods:
In a prospective study, we included 11 consecutive...
Introduction
Osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) at the capitellum is a common pathology in young patients. Although arthroscopic interventions are commonly used, there is a lack of information about the accessibility of the defects during elbow arthroscopy by using standard portals.
Materials and methods
An elbow arthroscopy using the standard portal...
