Tips to avoid nerve injury in elbow arthroscopy

Abstract: Elbow arthroscopy is a technical challenging surgical procedure because of close proximity of neurovascular structures and the limited articular working space. With the rising number of elbow arthroscopies being performed nowadays due to an increasing number of surgeons performing this procedure and a broader range of indications, a rise in complications is foreseen. With this editorial we hope to create awareness of possible complications of elbow arthroscopy, particularly nerve injuries, and provide a guidel… Show more

“…Because of their close relationship with the DBBT, adjacent nerves can be injured during surgical repair of the tendon. The lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve can be damaged during surgical incision, whereas the median nerve and posterior interosseous nerve are at risk during tendon fixation (Figure ) …”

“…The lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve can be damaged during surgical incision, whereas the median nerve and posterior interosseous nerve are at risk during tendon fixation (Figure 1). 21 Ideally, radiographs with an anteroposterior view in supination and lateral view image the radial tuberosity, adjacent soft tissues, and ulnoradial distance ( Figure Figure 1.

“…El tabique intermuscular que separa el compartimento anterior y posterior del brazo a nivel medial es una adecuada referencia anatómica al realizar una artroscopia de codo, ya que manteniéndonos anteriores a esta estructura no se producirá compromiso del nervio cubital. La lesión del nervio cubital se describe como la complicación neurológica más frecuente en las artroscopias de codo (6,9,10) . Respecto del nervio cubital, hay que ser conscientes de que entre el 11 y el 21% de los pacientes pueden presentar una subluxación del nervio a nivel del canal epitroclear (13) , lo que puede ser una contraindicación relativa para realizar una técnica artroscópica.…”

“…Aplicando una maniobra de estrés en valgo al codo, una separación mayor de 3 mm entre húmero y cúbito puede indicar una insuficiencia del ligamento colateral cubital (5) . En el tejido subcutá-neo de la zona medial se localiza la rama sensitiva antebraquial medial que debemos proteger al realizar los portales mediales, siendo conscientes de que cuanto más alto sea el portal menor riesgo de compromiso existe (6) .…”
