Where this comes from

Abstract

Elbow arthroscopy is, to a degree, technically demanding. A complete knowledge of the regional anatomy of the elbow is essential. The technical expertise of the arthroscopist continues to improve, and sophistication of equipment continues to increase. These clear the way for new indications of elbow arthroscopy. It is obvious that with sound judgment in regard to case selection, with caution, and with prone patient positioning, arthroscopy can effectively address many pathologic conditions of the elbow in a minimally invasive fashion.
