Abstract EN
Contracture of the elbow represents a disabling condition that can impair a person's quality of life.
Regardless of the event that causes an elbow contracture, the conservative or surgical treatment is usually considered technically difficult and associated with complications.
When the conservative treatment fails to restore an acceptable range of motion in the elbow, open techniques have been shown to be successful options.
More recently the use of arthroscopy has become more popular for several reasons.
These reasons include better visualization of intra-articular structures, less tissue trauma from open incisions, and potentially the ability to begin early postoperative motion.
The purpose of this paper is to review the indications, complications, and results of arthroscopic management of a stiff elbow.
