[Extraction of a foreign body from the elbow using arthroscopy].
Arthroscopy of the elbow is now a good diagnostic and therapeutic method, particularly for the removal of loose bodies which are frequently found in the elbow, whatever their etiology. The authors have investigated the advantages and disadvantages of different sites of entry and the technique of removal of loose bodies in five cases. The technical ease of the procedure and the simplicity of the after-care makes it the method of choice in this condition.
