Abstract
Elbow arthroscopy is a useful tool for managing diseases of the elbow, including valgus extension overload, when conservative treatments have failed. Arthroscopic access to the elbow in the supine-suspended position is simple and reproducible with the technique described in this report. Synovial tissue can be cleared, optimizing visualization of the anatomic structures in the elbow including the posterior ulnohumeral joint. This report describes, in detail, arthroscopy of the elbow in the supine-suspended position and basic principles for arthroscopic decompression of the posterior elbow for valgus extension overload.
