“…In the posttraumatic setting with a congruent ulnohumeral joint, open or arthroscopic capsular release can improve elbow motion in a congruent elbow with healed osseous injuries [35][36][37][38] . Excision of heterotopic ossification has also been successful in numerous case series [39][40][41][42] .…”

➤ There are patterns of traumatic elbow instability that help a surgeon to anticipate which structures are injured.➤ Patients treated for persistent subluxation or dislocation of the elbow more than two weeks after injury regain less motion and experience more adverse events.➤ The primary goal of treatment is stable reduction of the ulnohumeral joint and functional elbow motion.➤ Motion and pain are affected by contracture and scarring of the soft tissues, malalignment of the joint, fracture malunion, damage to the articular surface, and ulnar neuropathy.➤ Biomechanical and clinical studies support treatment with radial head arthroplasty and/or coronoid reconstruction for patients who have osseous insufficiency.

“…Arthroscopic capsular release of stiff elbows has recently been introduced as a safe but technically demanding technique. 28 The indications for surgery depend on the patient's functional needs. Morrey et al 20 stated that an elbow needs a minimum range of motion (ROM) of 100 flexion/extension and 100 pronation/supination to function adequately in the activities of daily living (ADL).…”

“…An anterior capsular release is classified into the method for dissecting the adhesion site using a blunt periosteal elevator, capsulotomy using a punch, and capsulectomy, where the adhesion site on the synovial membrane is removed using a shaver or an electrocautery. 16) During an anterior capsular release, there are risks of nerve damage. Therefore, it should be performed with caution.…”

Although arthroscopic surgery has been used conventionally, it has not been widely adopted yet due to the risks of complications, including nerve damage, technical difficulties, and limited indications. As shown in other joints, however, the use of an arthroscope will gradually increased in the elbow joint ('Arthroscopy always wins'). Herein, arthroscopic treatments and arthroscopic ulnar nerve decompression will be discussed in cases of elbow osteoarthritis.
