title: Elbow arthroscopy in trauma and reconstruction.
abstract: Arthroscopy of the elbow has become a valuable adjunct in the evaluation and treatment of elbow trauma and reconstruction. Arthroscopic visualization aids diagnosis and treatment while minimizing surgical trauma. The indications and techniques of elbow arthroscopy continue to expand and evolve. This article demonstrates the use of elbow arthroscopy as it relates to some of the topics in this volume. Arthroscopic setup, portal anatomy, technique, as well as an overview of trauma, loose bodies, bursitis, instability, arthrofibrosis, arthritis, and complications are discussed.
