title: [Perioperative pain therapy in interventions for elbow stiffness].
abstract: Conservative treatment and surgical release of a stiff elbow requires correct pain management which should be oriented to the individual needs of the patient. Regional anesthesia in combination with opioids is necessary postoperatively to obtain sufficient pain relief. There is a need for prospective randomized studies to develop an optimal pain therapy concept following operations for elbow stiffness.
