title: Elbow arthroscopy.
abstract: Decreased surgical morbidity and rapid recovery time associated with arthroscopic surgery of the elbow justify its preference over more extensive open incisions in selected cases. Not all elbow conditions can be treated arthroscopically, however, and open incisions are still preferred in more extensive problems such as displaced fractures and olecranon impingement syndromes.
