title: Arthroscopic removal of loose bodies of the elbow.
abstract: Arthroscopy of the elbow has proven to have a diagnostic and therapeutic benefit. Removal of loose bodies and a thorough evaluation of associated intra-articular pathologies are possible without arthrotomy. The authors have found this procedure to be safe and effective in the treatment of loose bodies of the elbow and other associated pathologies.
