摘要: Summary Twelve patients with flexion contractures of the elbow were managed by arthroscopic release proximal capsule and debridement olecranon fossa. Postoperatively mean contracture improved from 38 to 3° supination improving 45 84° pronation 80 88°. All reported a decrease in pain level as well improvement motion. There was one severe complication this series, which patient sustained permanent posterior interosseous nerve palsy. Arthroscopic limited capsular appears be satisfactory management modality for elbow.
