Abstract
Elbow arthroscopy has been used to treat patients with arthritis since the initial report of its efficacy by Savoie and colleagues in 1992. It has proved extremely useful as an adjunct treatment to decrease symptoms and increase function. A thorough knowledge of anatomy is essential for this modality to be used successfully. In young or active patients, it is the treatment of choice for arthritis of the elbow.
