Abstract
We sought to evaluate proper elbow arthroscopy portal placement in pediatric and adolescent patients. Overall, 109 pediatric and adolescent patients who underwent elbow arthrography were included. Condylar width was measured and the proximal anterior joint capsule location was determined using the ulna-capsular distance. Condylar width and Bone mass index(BMI) also had a high positive correlation coefficient with the proximal joint capsule location. Proximal ulnar border is recommended new bony landmark in pediatric and adolescent patients who undergo elbow arthroscopy. In particular, condylar width and BMI were found to have a high positive correlation with the proximal joint capsule location.
