Effective Elbow Arthroscopy for Various Elbow Conditions
Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the elbow joint. During the procedure, a small incision is made near the joint, and a tiny camera called an arthroscope is inserted to provide a clear view of the inside of the joint. Additional small incisions may be made to allow for the insertion of surgical instruments to repair or remove damaged tissue. The procedure is typically performed as an outpatient surgery, and patients can usually return home on the same day. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s overall health, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks. Elbow arthroscopy can be an effective treatment option for conditions such as tennis elbow, loose bodies in the joint, and elbow fractures.
